I was about to post suggesting that this was a good opportunity for Loganair. It was an old Loganair route anyway, they stepped into the breach when Capital went bust in 1990 but were kicked off in favour of British Midland when the Airlines of Britain group was "reorganised". Route went from 3 daily business friendly flights on the SD360 to twice daily on the ATP, SF340, ERJ-145, ERJ-135.
