In my case, CWL has lost BHD, CMF, ORK, DUB, EDI, GVA, JER & CDG. Loganair have quickly taken over the EDI but that leaves the “main” routes to BHD, DUB & CDG with no operator at all.
With no other competitors on routes like this (not just from CWL) you’d think they’d look into the potential than going straight into compete with other new carriers on the same routes.

Those routes may be the biggest market and could cope with 2 airlines
NCL-SOU used to be operated for years with eastern and Flybe.
T3 will know how big these markets are and profits to be made out of them

Isn't the answer more insidious: this is pretty blatant that Eastern are just trying to irritate Loganair, presumably into taking them over?
Can't see it happening myself but it is the only rational explanation for deliberately going head-to-head on two routes when there are literally handfuls of others to enjoy to yourself.

SOU Routes
Looks like Eastern will be basing a F100 (lease?) and a ER-4 at SOU.
SOU - NCL
up to 2 daily:
0710 and 1510 (MON-THU)
1110 and 1510 (FRI)
1510 (SUN)
Only displays 2 daily on the SOU-NCL and 1 afternoon flight on the NCL-SOU - Maybe this is a website error, or will position elsewhere empty?
SOU - MAN
0715 and 1515 (Mon-Thu)
1115 and 1515 (Fri)
1515 (Sun)
LBA and MME look remain unchanged
