Think you might have got confused on this one , the Titan B 757 G -ZAPX positions into SEN today from STN to operate the service
Icelandair and Jet2 are the 2 other major EU 757 operators with sizeable fleets for now but they are both retiring air-frames
Condor/TCK/MT now have 16 757-300 which are basically unsuitable for SEN operations

Apparently Loganair are to announce 3 Scottish destinations from SEN at a press conference at the airport sometime this week. Anyone heard anything regarding this and whether it’s true? Perhaps ex-BMI aircraft being put to use?
Or has someone got their wires crossed and it’s just a Carlisle route network update which is due imminently?

Where did you hear this tws123? Would be good if turns out to be true, however 3 Scottish destinations seems a bit hard to believe. As you said it may just be the long awaited Carlisle route announcement, hopefully we will know very soon.

A reporter for Business Travel News tweeted this earlier today:
“LOGANAIR will introduce its first London route on Wednesday (Derry to Stansted) and will also announce at a Southend Airport press conference three Scottish destinations. Stobart Directors will be in attendance. Full details next Monday in BTN.”

I heard in January that Loganair had held meetings with the SEN management and would operate three Scottish routes. I am pretty sure one was Inverness, and the other Edinburgh or Aberdeen we will find out next week. It has nothing to do with Carlisle.

Wouldn't be at all surprised to see an SEN-MME-ABZ appear at some point... it links two (potentially, at least) Stobart bases, gives MME a 'London' link, as well as stepping on Eastern/Flybe's toes once again on a big oil market MME-ABZ. It also offers the ability to fill seats between ABZ and SEN offering an alternative to Eastern/Flybe's LCY service if timed correctly.
I had heard that this was imminent a couple of weeks ago so I'm as sure as I can be that it will be announced. I haven't heard which routes it will be although EDI and BHD were mentioned.
