It's a shame about the Eastern service. The loads haven't been that bad lately and last nights flight departed with 13 pax although it was booked at 19. It came into LCY with 20 so not to bad at all.
There is a rumour of Eastern operating a service from ABZ to LCY via NCL using a Saab 2000 but we shall have to wait and see.
Last nights VLM LPL flight departed with only 10 on board.
