I must say I am surprised Logan are not looking at routes from SOU, especially after seeing that laughable bunch of routes they have just announced. The Munich route was growing very well, and was only dropped because of a shortage of aircraft from memory. They could also add SOU to their base in Aberdeen, which is another route with history at SOU. Perhaps even Brussels, they fly there from a number of other airports.

If you look in general Loganair haven't taken up any any flyBMI German routes not even from Bristol. Their main focus seems to be on Aberdeen and Newcastle and Southend at the moment so they may not just be interested yet in Southampton.

That has to be good news for SOU
My question is , as not familiar with aircraft ranges is can the 175 operate to Malaga or Faro with a full load of bags , pax and fuel ?

Not sure as I also thought the E75 was performance limited in summer conditions. Only what I have heard and will be interesting to see what develops!

175
I used the BHX service once in that well known summer peak of mid-April and 30 bags were off-loaded on a full flight delaying us one hour - the temperature was 24c so warm for April but not for high-summer. If we get a hot summer that would be a hell of a lot of lost tow-bars (sorry couldn't resist, as that was the pathetic excuse Flybe gave for the delay).

Was the original plan not for the runway extension and tree felling to be done over the winter in time for next summer? If so, I would think there shouldn't be too many issues using the E175's, assuming it goes ahead.

I’m struggling to see where there has been any statement that these routes will return for 2020 to prompt any speculation about the aircraft that will fly them. As far as I had understood, the routes were closed early this year after a poor summer and there is no guarantee they will be back in any shape or form. With Flybe’s other sunshine routes at Exeter, Norwich, Cardiff and Doncaster all gone, they really would be lone routes that no longer fit with the rest of the network.

Unless the airport expands,i e runway,and airside expansion as per the over hyped master plan announced many moons ago,then the airport will continue to contract,and there is no sign of any planning request. So expect the run down of Sun routes,further pax number reductions and general decline. It's the worst senerio for any regional airport.Times are grim for SOU
