NCL - SOU
[QUOTE=northsands;10704150]
Actually,
Before Eastern, there was an outfit called European Airways, based in NCL, who operated two J31's. After them came Eastern (although there might have been a bit of an overlap) on the Saab. IIRC it grew to 2 or 3 flights on somedays. Then along came Flybe and trashed the fares, so Eastern pulled off. Flybe then reduced the flights per day for a bit, and have only recently upped the frequency to 3 or 4.
[I'm assuming Flybe then took over this route which prompted T3 to withdraw?/QUOTE]
Actually, for much of T3's previous stint on NCL-SOU, they competed with Flybe, who began their services over the route in autumn 2004 - so the route then sustained two operators for 5+ years.

Not surprised about Brussels....the pax figures have never even remotely recovered to the BMI levels since LM took over the route. On the other hand STV has been rising every month since the LM take over of the route.

To add on, The T3 SOU route will be OP by an ERJ145, interesting as their J41's operate the LBA-SOU route, you'd have thought a prop might have been more viable as they've got competition.

just shows that they need bigger planes for the route but I’m sure in a few months time the pax numbers will tell the story

According to a Travel Weekly Loganair are introducing a 4 days a week twice daily same plane SOU-NCL -ABZ connection and to replace lost capacity at NCL an additional afternoon NCL -ABZ /ABZ - NCL will commence on W/T/F from 29th April.

Is it twice daily - article only refers to an evening service?
