Its possible that flybe could make tracks into PLH via their tie-up with Loganair. The SAAB 340 recently made a few trips into PLH albeit with a reduced payload, but it did get in and out
.
Silverstreak, now thats good thinking as a way around the Q400 restriction, however, I cant see Loganair touching this with a barge pole, anything remotely risky wont be on their agenda IMO.
Belfast City IOM was axed as quick as lightning, mid season the route was abandoned, and it was close to home with BHD being only a hop across from GLA.
However, Loganair could make a real go of this and their presence in this market could ensure that Flybe are not predatory.
