The Loganair ATR also comes with an IOM govt subsidy attached, so apples and pears comparison vs. Flybe2. With KLM feeding long haul at one end and BA the other, there's no USP for flybe to be at LHR at all. No BA Exec Club, no feed at either end, using a Q400 from a remote stand? Just WHYYYYY?

I was quoting Loganair and Luxair as a previous poster said Q400 never flew to LHR, and that there were no turboprops planned.
