APD affects everyone equally - what is needed to build more robust airlines is (shock horror) higher fares. As long as someone can come in and offer very low fares then everyone but the true LCA's will continue to bleed slowly to death

Passenger Statistics has now been re-instated on Newcastle Airport's website, although only from last year (Previously these were shown from 2016) :

Well that was quick they don’t hold back. Hopefully they can bring more routes to the airport but Welcome Loganair. Hopefully they will take on the ex flyBMI crew to operate it probably saving them money doing that

Good news indeed given the situation, hopefully they’ll put some thought into adding more than just BRU and SVG. I suspect Eastern will be watching this rather closely given Loganairs links to Aberdeen...

I would very much suspect LM will transfer ex BM NCL crew over as they are all ready to go on the EMB 145s which LM will be operating out of NCL. Just new uniform, training etc before start of service as well as negotiating employment contracts.

the positive here (given both companies were under common ownership with access to trading information) is that the NCL routes must be doing well or they would have chosen other ones to continue... (looking a bit like a pre-pack administation if other ex BMI routes follow)

I've seen two start dates for new Loganair services, 11th March and 25th March. Wonder which is correct, hopefully the 11th to reduce as much impact possible.

The flights are now bookable on the Loganair website
NCL-BRU x 2 Mon-Thurs (0625 and 1705), x1 Fri, x1 Sun (Both evening dep) LM542 and 546
NCL-SVG x1 Mon-Fri and 1 x Sun (1310) LM504
All beginning on the 25th March
Same times as the BM which would make sense with the slots in BRU and the prices aren’t actually to bad

The Loganair website says 25th March, but I'm assuming both the Chronicle and the ITV stories are cut and paste jobs from a local media press release, so maybe the ITV one is from a later version and things are moving fast...
Loganair could be good for airports like NCL and ABZ - they are used to running low density flights to less popular locations and there is no reason why they shouldn't be able to build a nice little network servicing places the big boys and the bucket and spade mob don't want to go to

Today's Emirates EK36 to Dubai is showing on Newcastle Airport'e departures as being Rescheduled to Tomorrow (Saturday 23rd Feb) with a departure time of 11.00.
Could this be a Technical issue or possibly crew?
