The flights are in the system, but all availability has been zero'ed out until 01SEP. That suggests that SN/LH can't find an aircraft to operate the route. I'm not surprised, as bringing the ARJ-85s out of retirement feels almost as economically fragile as using ERJ-145s.
So we're a bit stuffed. Nobody wants to stick a 'big' (319/737) on fragile routes, nobody has got any 'small' gauge aircraft spare in fleet, wetleasing isn't providing any solutions. And I doubt LH Group will have any interest in doing business with Loganair.
Anyone else got any 80-ish seat aircraft they could wet-lease to LH/SN?
