Obviously the fuel flow is only part of the economics with faster quicker flight times, full ownership and no repayments. I think maintenance costs of Saabs are also disproportionate.
BMI have done okay with them so dont think theres a major issue here. Im sure Loganair have 'done the math'
"Done the math" - Wow, you American? But anyway, I'm sure they've done their sums as they say in Scotland and nice to see another Jet in Loganair colours and I'll hopefully have a flight in it soon.
