That'll be because Aberdeen is a cold,grey,two-bit city with a two-bit airport that nobody wants to fly to,right?
Well, it is a "cold,grey,two-bit city with a two-bit airport" - in fact the airport isn't even really two bit - but that isn't the reason...

The reason is that to make a profit out of ABZ, you have to get your head around the local mindset. They didn't manage it last time and pulled out very quickly form the ABZ-LCY and subsequent routes. They left a lot of people hanging at short notice - the ABZ routes tend to be the first to get axed when life gets difficult. Just the way it always seems to go...
