Loganair to Newcastle?
Noted the following post from Albert Hall on the NCL thread:
it looks like they are feeling brave. They've requested slots at NCL for a second based ER3 this summer to operate Aberdeen three a day and Bergen and Oslo on what looks like alternate days. A pretty decisive step if it all happens as planned, particularly with a decent schedule on Aberdeen.

Aberdeen to LCY (and Newcastle to LCY) both gone from flybe.com - no flights available after Friday 5 April. Seems like incredibly short notice to stop a route in anyone's book - wonder if it's a system problem instead of a conscious decision?

ABZ-NCL is still bookable up to 4 times a day on weekdays with two roundtrips still showing as being operated by a S2000.

Trouble at mill?

Potential industrial action on the cards, at both ABZ & GLA.

Apparently (per Newcastle thread) Loganair are starting flights to Newcastle.
SAS adding a 2nd Wed flight on CPH, think I read from 17.4.
ABZ has been impacted by the Flybe troubles in common with elsewhere. Hope they can come through this, obviously a major player here.

According to Jethros, TUI will base a Sunwing aircraft at ABZ this summer, presumably due to the MAX issues, although this may have been planned prior to this. I would guess the TOM 738 is needed at EDI/GLA as these were planned MAX bases.

Bristow Group
In a bit of financial trouble:

And they own Eastern Airways.
Future for both right now looking uncertain to say the least.

Loganair announce NCL & NWI
So LM have announced the NCL route as rumoured, but also NWI too, 3xdaily M-F. All reported on the respective threads eff 1st Sept.
Looks like an assault on Eastern and/or they think Eastern is not long for the aviation scheduled world.
If Eastern cannot continue, I would presume LM would be the successor on all the east coast routes t/f ABZ.

Most routes here cannot sustain competition. Just not the numbers & the oil industry glory days are gone. APD decision recently won’t have helped either I suppose. Sad but there you do.
Also a structural change in the Oil business
even 10 years ago it was a lot of large International companies who had people world-wide so there was a constant flow in and out of ABZ - these days a lot of the fields are owned by smaller Aberdeen outfits with no footprint elsewhere so you don't get the travel
plus the platforms etc are down-manned/umanned and no-one is building anything out there . In the 70's and 80's you'd have hundreds working offshore building things - now most of the construction is done onshore in a yard and the (v large) modules are lifted into place - or it's a FPSO that just sails in from Korea.......
