The airport Manager Steve Gill has been quoted in the local media saying that these new routes are "a shot in the arm" for the airport. I fear it will be more like "a shot in the back of the head" for the airport. The passenger figures on some of the Aberdeen services are in single figures. Several daily frequencies are cancelled or combined with other bases flights as the passenger figures are so low. There is really no need to have two operators on such a marginal route. This will purely push Eastern off the Aberdeen route. The airport management will have negotiated this route with Loganair. The phrase 'sh 1tting on your own door step' springs to mind.
As for MME-NWI......seriously?
