Good news as far as it goes, but again a reliance on what happens on the swings & roundabouts of the oil sector.

The new 'workhorse' of the UKCS
https://www.eveningexpress.co.uk/fp/...-in-north-sea/
I'm old enough to remember when I first started my interest in the goings on at Dyce in the early 80s the Super Pumas/Tigers taking over from the S61N as the 'workhorse' of offshore flying (although the 61s were still pretty busy).

Bristow ran for a few years with the original Puma. They had a bad reputation, so when the Super Pumas arrived they asked for aircraft fitted out to their spec to be called Tigers. I think only Bristow's Super Pumas were called Tigers.
Back in the seventies the pilots on BAH S 61's flew in short sleeved white shirts, the passengers just wore a pouch type life jacket over their street clothes. Bristows were using survival suits from at least the mid seventies.
When you were flying home to Sumburgh on an S61n you would see Pumas overtaking but you knew that they were all cramped in whereas you were in relative comfort.

Does anyone know what all these Balkan Holidays winter charter flights to Bourgas currently operating from Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Manchester etc are for? It's way too early for the summer season.

With Flybe & Eastern not exactly setting the heather alight either, not good news for ABZ. If this is true.

They’ve just been awarded a two year extension to the LDY-STN PSO, are about to add LDY-MAN as well. If they’re about to collapse, they’re either wilfully ignoring the prospect, or the PSO money has come in very handy. Hopefully they’ll survive as I and, quite a few others in my experience, use BRS-ABZ a fair bit.

I can't understand why it should be just bmi as its owned by AIL? What comes of Loganair? and why not transfer the best bits over to Loganair first? (Unless that is why they were transferring a few EMB's over?)
Alex is not usually one I would trust and is the only person 'reporting' on it...!

3 in the air at the moment heading for Norwich. I don't think the story would be published unless he was sure.

Sadly the end has come for Flybmi. So loss of services from ABZ to BRS, EBJ & OSL (SAS remains on OSL). Can't recall who was flying on behalf of who for NWI, but presume T3 will fly that in their own name.
Flying the UK regionals seems to be so difficult just now to make money & I doubt that will change any time soon.

Understand the Bypass is due to finally fully open this week - now that is a saga
