There is a lot of talk about Flybe being vital for the connectivity of the country. Comparing the route map of Flybe and Loganair then there are very few destinations where Flybe is the only operator. Yes granted, with Loganair you probably have less direct flights but you can get nearly everywhere in the country. While Flybe provides a higher frequency there is nothing to stop Loganair picking up some extra airplanes and crew to increase their frequencies.
