Does it stack up? If Loganair can operate business friendly flight times at low cost prices, surely they can tap into the demand. Plenty of domestic routes out of SOU, GLA, EDI, LHR, ABZ could support a fleet of around a dozen E-jets. Take SOU-NCL for example - Flybe operated 78 seat aircraft up to 4 times daily and pulled in over 12,000 monthly passengers.
Loganair now operate 2 daily 49 seat aircraft and less than 5,000 monthly passengers.
Presumably the route is profitable, but that to me suggests that the route is under served, bringing the risk of competition jumping in on the route, which… in the shape of EZY, poses a threat to LM, and ends up worse for the consumer in the end.
How does LM step up?
I’m not sure you meant it but your post reads as if you believe that any route that is profitable must be being underserved.
