Just read on-line about Loganair's record £2.2 million profit ! Whatever the reasoning behind the departure of the CEO, Loganair certainly seems to be doing better than ever. Heard rumours about flybe / Loganair tie up too, but seems to be just speculation, following on from BA Connect purchase - LC previously fed into BA Connect flights to MAN/BHX/SOU, why not feed into flybe instead, but cant see flybe or LC wanting the hassle. If Loganair or BA decide in 2008 not to extend the franchise it would make sense surely for them to do what Air Southwest have done and go it alone with on-line sales. No franchise fees to pay and no need for a big call centre like you used to need prior to the internet. Either way Loganair's big news this week wasnt doom & gloom and seems to be positive for a change !
