Well, the aircraft only has 49 seats. We know (and more importantly so do Loganair) from Stobart's previous efforts that they have every chance of filling that aircraft to GLA. As for Stornoway, I would suggest that no airline is better placed to make a success of the route.

ABZ is opportunistic with Eastern's ABZ - LCY now stopping en-route at NCL. Non-stop to SEN is a viable alternative.

To me this is great news. With EZY, FR and presumably more from Flybe/Virgin based at the airport it really needed a significant boost from an airline based elsewhere.

I think Loganair have every chance of success.
