Emergency at DUB Fri 20/6
Anybody know what the emergency involving the LDY-DUB flight was on Friday p.m.? Seems to have been a full emergency landing - return flight cancelled.

On the news the other night it said Loganair was cutting some flights due to fuel price increases anyone know which routes ?
Don't know any other cutbacks.
Here are details of the Shetland flight amalgamations

Not sure what the nature of the Dub emergency was but no doubt the very diligent management will look at the facts , study the case and its intricacies and then make its informed decision purely based on whether they like the crew or not.
Management; very average intelligent people with no formal training making very questionable decisions? sounds like Logan.
Good luck everybody.

fredtheanorak - come back logie ? Well thats just what has happened in a way. A fair number of flybe staff are original Loganair staff who got bought over by Manx/Bral then BACitiexpress/Bacon then flybe, so parked next to a Loganair Saab could well be a 195 or Q400 driver who started his days in a white, red and black Loganair aircraft many moons ago. Talk about full circle !

I've got to say after all the recent news about Qantas engineering issues that page 7 of the Sun today was quite comical. Captain stuck in the Looganair toilet at the back of the Saab and had to be let out through the cargo hold. Passengers inconvenienced by an hour from Stornoway to Edinburgh. Thats one for the pilot to tell the grandkids

Loganair will discontinue LDY services from OCT this year - saw the email today from BA REV ACCs...
I think its to do with non-renewal of subsidies from various parliaments and the change over from BA to flybe... Heard Aer Arann managed to pick up some of the Loganair ''Northern Ireland - Southern Ireland'' routes...
I stand corrected if this is not entirley true...

Aer Arann picked up the only PSO (Public Service Obligation) route from N Ireland to Dublin earlier this year, taking it from Loganair. That's significant because the route is subsidised by the Irish Government. Loganair's franchise agreement with BA runs out soon, to be replaced by a franchise with Flybe. Flybe said they were going to take over the Derry to Glasgow International route, using Loganair 'planes, but as has been said, this is now missing from the Flybe booking engine. Since RYR began the LDY to PIK route, Loganair's route to Glasgow has suffered..............therefore, I'm not totally surprised the route is now unbookable.
