So ABZ to close...not good news - I take it that the LCY route will no longer exist out of ABZ????

If they have/do pull the route then I am not surprised in the slightest. BE operated the route with a 146 and then replaced it with a Dash 8 due to poor loads. Makes sense... well yes to the accountant but it is sheer folly when you downgrade from a jet to a prop when the direct competition (BA, EZY) all use jets. For Mr Businessman who wants to maximize his time, he will get the jet and not the prop that takes longer, which I think has been demonstrated in the loads with BE and now Scot Airways. Shame to see a route struggle in its early days.
