The first airline on the route was Ryanair, on a BAC 1-11 which was switched to Coventry over a landing fees dispute (they've never been any different!). Several years later Loganair ran it on a J41 3 times per week and occaisonally upgraded to ATP. The next operator on the route was Aer Lingus who flew once a week out on Fri eve and return Sun afternoon on an F50 which was dropped when they upraded commuter fleet to 146's. Then after another gap mytravellite ran daily on A320 and then Bmibaby flew in competition with them for a season till mytravellite pulled out.
