Loganair when they branded back to their original. Colours , etc, stated they planned over time to target ' unserved , Northern English airports ', so Eg DTV or DSA/HUY they are at the latter seasonally . And tried DTV but pulled out .
With luck they will step in and rescue the DUB, AMD and BHD plus maybe CDG routes lost at DSA. if they did they may finally operate ABZ which the airport has been chasing for yearsx.
But they will never be a Thomas Cook !
I heard rumours that flyBMI needed to fill an ERJ145 to make any profit from CDG, as Paris’ fees were extortionate. The only reason they kept the route going (normally at a loss) was because of the optimistic chance of eventually getting bigger aircraft (CRJs or E-jets), which would make more money. Same rules apply with Loganair, I think. They’d need bigger planes, and more bums on seats to make money from CDG. So I can’t see it myself.
I wish Loganair would get stuff going in DSA, and I remain optimistic they will. But I’m not banking on any new bases in the near future.
