Rumour has it that the ERJ positioned back into Norwich and they had already started the repaint to Logan air colours before midnight, Logan air parent company also owned flybmi.

Likewise two senior flybmi ABZ based trainers started their employment with Logan Air the very next day.

Regional flying is no longer viable in most of the UK, a combination of high APD which they catch on both legs, what demand there is in early and late in the day, meaning two lots of crews doing at best 2 or 3 sectors a day, something that pushes up the cost to amongst the highest in the industry in this country at least.
Sure there is money to be made flying between the likes of EDI LGW/LHR but not on a 50 seater.
