Rubbish. It's a business. Most of its' 'lifeline' Scottish routes are subsidised by the devolved Government. If it wasn't for that, they wouldn't do it for the good of it. Likewise here with their routes on the Island.
The problem they have is that due to the somewhat corrosive conditions of the air at the airport on those vintage E135/145's, they're swapping frames out every day or so via the ABZ-MAN flight. Whole different kettle of fish when you have a proper base that they'll have to give those considerations to.
Is there a reason for these ongoing anti-Loganair outpourings based on factually incorrect information?
The comment about the reason for 145s swapping every day is complete and utter tosh. There is a planned changeover every day as there is currently no Embraer 145 maintenance cover in IOM, unlike for the ATR which lives there and is maintained there, so swapping aircraft and crews from ABZ every day rotates both the aircraft and crews. There is some 145 cover going into place in IOM shortly so there will still be aircraft swaps but not daily.
Hardly any of the Scottish routes are subsidised. The Twin Otter and Islander services are, as is Dundee-London and Stornoway-Benbecula under PSOs for which anyone can bid. For the rest of the routes, if Loganair carries no passengers, it has no income.
You're just making this stuff up.
