How come is it that scotland cant sustain airline or have a national flag carrier of its own we have seen so many scottish airlines come go out over the years.
The Scottish market is mainly outbound and very historically very seasonal and so outwith the summer peaks, a lot of routes are desperately under-used. I think GSM did a fine job in showing the market is there and that the legacy operators were underserving things, but then spoiled it all but expanding madly, ruining their good name and going bust.

BA don't fly anywhere from Wales!!!!
True but they still see way more (empty) BA heavies at Cardiff than in Scotland!
