BA played hardball giving Loganair so much as a codeshare last year. The thought of owning their former BA CONNECT operation once again must surely drive shivers down spines at Waterworld. UK regional turboprop flying is a niche activity, is there a lot of money to be made? If no, then IAG shouldn’t get involved. BA/EI/IB complement each others hubs in an ever growing manner, flying DHDs on GLA-BHX isn’t adding anything to the IAG business model.
Also pathetic to try and blame Brexit for this. Taking on Loganair in their home markets for no sensible commercial reason (spite) can’t have helped either.
