I'd be surprised if BA management even noticed - they don't give a stuff about flying in the UK regions now and have regularly had non-BA liveried aircraft operating subcharters over the years both by franchisees and on their own mainline domestic services too. Given that BA own 15% of flybe and codeshare with flybe on certain routes I hope they might allow a small operator like Loganair to operate the odd flybe liveried aircraft where operational requirements demand it. Agree the 340 looks good in flybe colours - hope the new franchise works well for them.

From a BA perspective, easyJet is not only route competition - it is also the low cost underclass of airline from which they differentiate their offering psychologically.
Quite apart from the direct effect on passengers and marketing to them - can you imaging the PR damage that would come from stories in the media about BA using 'easyJet aircraft'.
With Logan/Be this is less of an issue due to pax familiarity - and it is effectively a non-issue due to the commercial interest and recent history (the fate of BA Connect)

I think BA management should be more interested in their own troubles i.e The Whole Heathrow Operation!.
This goes to show that the BA management are on the ball with the real problems that face the airline!.

More power to Loganair / flybe franchise partner.
Great little outfit, with very challenging parameters with which to operate in.
Hope flybe give more routes Loganairs way as they really deserve to do well, and prosper.

Will Flybe/Loganair be expanding routes from Dundee?
What other routes could Flybe/Loganair operate?
Do loganair have plans for more SAAB 340's? It would be great if they aquired SAAB 2000's.

ABZ
LOG are perfect to open up new DND routes, either for themselves or, as seems more likely, for Flybe.
Anyone know if there are plans for ABZ, again either for themselves or on Flybe's behalf, or are LOG quite happy to fly the Northern Isles routes?
I could see Belfast, for example, being handed to LOG to fly on Flybe's behalf.
Any more Saab 340Bs to source? Doubt Saab 2000s, as T3 are looking for more, so far without success.
