Aberdeen has never really had a ski charter season. I can recall British Midland (DC9) & Swissair (MD80) in the 70s/80s but I think those were short seasonal only. I presume there just isn't the demand.

Local press (caught up?) says DLH to FRA will be all-737 for S13, from June. I recall they were increasing capacity this summer, but couldn't remember what to. Nice to hear DLH say they made the right decision in coming.

Edit:
Apologies, I also meant to add the Aberdeen-based aviation writer (& RNLI member I think) Jim Ferguson died today following a stroke, aged 74. I know the heli guys didn't agree with all he wrote, but I always found him an interesting listen. RIP to Jim & condolences to his wife & colleagues/friends.
