Looks like Loganair have the Highlands & Islands Royal Mail contract now too, having taken over from Benair very recently. Does anybody know if this was the result of a tender, seems strange that Benair would be removed after so long operating these flights? Has there been an increase in demand recently? I wondered why they were converting another two Saab's to freight type.

Sprint Air is currently subbing on the Aberdeen route until the 4th Saab goes to Sweden for freight conversion.

Current route network now looks like the below
INV-EDI-EMA-INV
INV-SYY-BEB-SYY-INV

Additional new routes from Benair
INV-KOI-INV
INV-ABZ-EDI-INV
ABZ-LSI-KOI-ABZ (operated by Sprint Air currently)
