Let us suppose for a moment that Loganair cannot survive. Just for a moment in a theoretical world. I ask this to see how critical it is that Loganair survive or whether a credible fallback option exists. I realise that in a real dire emergency these routes could be operated by the RAF, but I'm assuming Govt would prefer a private sector company to do the flying instead
Which other airlines would be willing and able to take on the island routes, including those which are not currently PSO ?
Could Directflight do this with extra pilots and aircraft, or would it be too much expansion too fast ?
Eastern - or are their finances in a bad shape already ?
Any other airlines ?
