However the route licences were awarded to Air UK instead and Loganair were stuck with the 146s which, IIRC, they mainly operated out of MAN. I think I can say with certainty that that was the end of Loganair’s interest in Scotland - London routes.
I wouldn’t say they have no interest in Scotland - London routes. They are currently operating Dundee to LCY and offering one stop to Kirkwall and Sumburgh. But I wouldn’t expect them to go up against BA on Glasgow or Edinburgh to London and especially not LHR. But Scot Airways held its own on LCY-EDI for years.
