Aberdeen-2
Surely the point he was making was that if this does become a regular thing, the route will get scrapped. I think only the most blindly optimistic soul would expect Ryanair to keep operating a route that regularly required tech-stops on the way.

It's only a 4 hr flight, surely there's another reason why it tech-stopped? the 800's can comfortably do Scotland - Canaries, which is almost an hour longer.
Maybe fuel was a cover up for a disruptive pax or medical diversion?

1. T3 axing the 2nd SYY flight - insufficient demand (they're reverting to the original freq). Also reductions in the WIC run, same reason.
2. Looks like SAS may be launching a BGO service of their own 5w M-F. Not sure if this is meant to complement the existing WF run, or is in competition with it. Currently WF/SAS code-share on the route.

Could be something to do with the ridiculous sky high fares they charge for a unreliable service. Regular flyers leaving WIC on early Monday flight less than impressed !

ATIS31: Yes, there's always that! Obviously their business model worked when oil prices were high and money was no object, but it perhaps showed up a lack of flexibility when the oil crash occurred. Now oil is >$75 & climbing apparently, so who knows? They are definitely cutting back the scheduled flying though. If they're loss-making, then understandable.
BA have opened their new lounge at ABZ:

The SAS flight to Bergen starts W18, with (at least for now) a B737. It does seem that it is in competition with Wideroe - is their code-sharing coming to an end?

SAS BGO service could be geared towards cargo rather than pax? Wouldn’t expect great loads on a 9pm departure with the WF service going at a much more optimal 6.40pm daily.
i believe that was the rationale behind the 737 returning to the SVG route as the CRJ 900 isn’t great in that respect. That is also a late departure ex-ABZ.

Thats a shame FR dropping AGP- would have thought that would be a staple diet route (and before MLA and FAO), do we expect ALC will get ditched in due course too? No mention on APD on this occassion, surprisingly...

AGP going seasonal has been known about for some time? Has there been a new development?

Given that Ryanair’s S19 schedule is still several months away from release, I’m not quite sure how a P&J reporter would know.
I think what’s happened here is that they’ve seen the last rotation at the end of this summer and jumped to the conclusion that the route is binned entirely.
The wording in the article is also exactly as per the original release at the start of March.
I’m calling BS on this one

Wonder what is behind this? Maybe she just feels it's the natural end of a cycle & time to do something else. Maybe.
