Apparently X9 were going to announce a new domestic route from ABZ last Sun, but had a "change of heart" & are now looking at another domestic route instead. However no announcements re this expected before early 2007.

Wonder which domestic route they decided against.

Re T3, my guesses are CWL, LCY, KOI, LSI. I read they were not planning any international routes from ABZ & I recall they said a couple of years back that they would consider KOI & LSI, but at that time were put off by competing against a BA franchise. I know nothing's changed in that regard, but I wonder if they've changed their minds.

Was also a snippet in the paper re IAH. Didn't say anything new, except that no funding to fly any route had been agreed/secured. Given the EU's intentions to stop Route Development Funding for long haul routes to Scotland (from May 07) I wonder if this will stymie any supposed IAH-ABZ route.
