Loganair

A route scrapped after two weeks?

Is that a record?

Pre-launch sales must have been dire.

EDIT: Den Helder response


Den Helder- There was great disappointment when Loganair announced, just a week and a half after its official start, that it would be discontinuing scheduled service between Norwich and Den Helder Airport. Despite the fact that more bookings were being made after an intensive advertising campaign.
There were happy faces all around on Monday, 4 March, during the official start of scheduled service between Norwich and Den Helder Airport. A service that would connect the offshore oil & gas and offshore wind energy sectors in the East Anglia and Den Helder regions. And would also be available for short holidays to the east coast of Great Britain, for example. The reaction of Conny van den Hoff of Den Helder Airport says it all. “Like so many others, I had very high expectations. We recently spent a lot of time and effort in setting up this scheduled service. We noticed that thanks to the intensive advertising campaign, more bookings were being made. So it was all the more disappointing that Loganair pulled the plug so quickly. This kind of new scheduled service requires a start-up period but unfortunately Loganair became impatient”, according to the airport director, who incidentally still believes that Den Helder Airport is an ideal base for a daily scheduled service to Great Britain. “We will not despair, but will continue to look into other possibilities, including an air route with Aberdeen, the Scottish offshore capital. A direct connection offers many advantages, not only for the above-mentioned sectors but for the business and leisure market as well.”
