Would there be any value in Stobart working with Loganair? They have lofty ambitions in Scotland with talk of expansion and European routes. It was Loganair who were due to operate the Carlisle service, and that Saab 2000 is coming to the end of its life... Maybe some ATR's with a bit of help from Stobart might fill that gap? (Loganair also wouldn't be a terrible brand to operate from Southend anyway, especially to Scotland).
