I think the 1-11 was discussed earlier in here, re the fastest journey LHRABZ.
I thought Trident, another TriStar, but concensus I think was 1-11.
Report on BBC Local Radio that 2 airlines actively looking into an ABZ-Poland service following the recent survey.
Warsaw, Gdansk or Krakow listed as the favourite preferred destinations, 97% would fly more often to Poland if there was a local link (including likely thon Polish locum that commutes Poland-Prestwick-Aberdeen every Friday!!) instead of travelling to central belt airports as they do currently.
Wonder who the two airlines are? Eastern had said they were looking to expand to Europe! Probably airlines like Wizz or Centralwings.

It is reported that Ryanair was very close to setting a new base at an unnamed Scottish airport but it went to Birmingham instead.
So it could only be EDI or ABZ? I wonder if ABZ just missed the boat..... yet again!

Considering the catchment area of Edinburgh compared to Aberdeen I think Edinburgh is far more likely.
By the way is anyone ever going to do a Stansted service again from ABZ. Surely someone could make a profit on it. Afterall people visiting London could use it (the easyJet Luton service seems to do good business) as well as those visiting East Anglia, Essex and East side of the M25 area etc. If it was promoted properly Aberdeen residents could be made aware of all the potential low-cost destinations from Stansted that they could connect to.

Eastern have a BP charter to Faroe at the moment, BP are doing some exploration drilling on the William field.
Not a good success rate so far for Faroe prospects but from the net it looks like they're hopeful this time.

Was there something going on last night (28th January). I went to bed at 10.45pm in in the next half hour I heard at least 5 different aircraft as though they had just taken off?

Well I did think that but I wouldn't have thought there would have been 5 different flights between 10.45pm and 11.15pm. Hubby was working nightshift and also mentioned he heard aircraft in the early hours which sounded like they had just taken off.
