Wonder why Bacx got rid of Gla/Edi to Bhd,is it because they cant compete with Ezy on these routes given that Ezy have 80 to 90 odd percent of the market share and just increased frequencies on the BFS-EDI route to 4 per day along with Gla.I wonder how long Loganair will compete on these two routes for.Obviously Bacx were making a loss here and I cant imagine Loganair turning it around,given that they dont have the almighty backing of BA.......................................................... ..........................................

Hi Norman
You should be ashamed of yourself Norman.
The use of the terminology:
""Midland BOUGHT Loganair. They made the policy decisions that shafted Loganair, but they could, because it was theirs at that time!""
gives away your identity, your thoughts, your motivation and your ethics.
Someone remind me about whether or not a cabin should be secure for landing...............??
Hasta La Vista, Baby!

No names no pack drill, but wasn't the No. 1 fired over that little shenanigan - all because of an attempt to set a new record for London - IOM?? CAA FOI on board I believe too.

ATPs wet leases to when?
Any idea when the 4 ATPs leases are due to end with BACX?
The next customers would pick them up as "cheap as chips" .
Make good freighters for Emerald.

NO point handing it to Flybe either.I am not just talking about Bhd here im talking about Ldy too, so dont hijack the thread Allmcc.Ezy will be the only carrier to Edi in Feb.
Hmmm.....misleading title there Glynn. What about LDY-DUB and LDY-GLA? Also the Loganair routes from Scotland to Southern Ireland? (GLA-ORK). These are all still operational, and as for MAN-LDY, that ceased a couple of weeks ago!!!!!

I assume that LDY-MAN and LDY-DUB are to remain though? I'm surprised at how few routes there are from LDY although I guess BFS is not all that far away. Would a Ryanair LDY-PIK route be a possibility?

LDY only caters for a 732. FR have the pressure on to get a 738 runway length but locals bolshie on the subject if I recall. try google.
LDY-DUB is supported by a PSO subsidy from the Irish govt.

As per Flybe website today, start date BHD - EDI brought forward from 28 Mar to 01 Mar
Quote "easy will be the only carrier to edi in Feb" - only on the 28th/29th - sorry to disappoint Glynn!

LDY does serve a purpose. As for making money, not yet, but if they get the runway extension then why not? A lot of people (in N.Irish terms!!) do live in it's catchment area and have you ever tried using public transport to get to BFS from the NW? At least BHD is near ANYWHERE it's actually feasible to use public transport to get to.

LDY runway extension
An extension of the main runway would mean that a number of houses just to the west of the airfield would have to be knocked down.
As you can imagine, the owners are fighting the proposal.

Looks like the competition was too much for Loganair, though they reckon the derry to galsgow route will be unaffected....for now
