I would say more new routes are possibly about to be announced. Read a article a couple of weeks ago that LM are in talks with a number of airports regarding launching routes. I believe Loganair currently use 13 aircraft to operate there routes operated by jet aircraft:
Aberdeen - 1 x ER3 & 3 x ER4’s (1 aircraft used to op T3’s NWI service and another is a standby)
Derry - 1 x ER4
Glasgow - 2 x ER4
Inverness - 1 x ER4
Newcastle - 1 x ER3
Norwich - 2 x ER3
Airbus Shuttle Contract - 2 x ER4 used. I can’t remember if these flights are operated by 1 based at Bristol 1 based at Harwarden or if they are both are based at BRS and just night stop at Harwarden
The addition of the new base at EMA and the launch of new routes from NCL & NWI from 1st September will require 16 aircraft if Loganair decide to retain the ABZ standby aircraft. If they do t then that number will drop to 15.
