Thanks for the stats, Fly757. The one that slipped through was Akureyri, which totalled 366 on the rtn flight. 183 each way, justifying the Titan 757. Interestingly, the same charter operated from Cardiff, but totalled 266 pax. Well done CoDA on this one. A success.

Completely forgot that and that was G-POWN, a A321-211.

Ah! Cheers. Had it in my head it was a 757 for some reason. Good loads all the same.

SEN/IOM/NQY got the 752.

Ryanair's W19/20 schedule has stayed the same for both EDI/LPL.

Unfortunate for BFS but surely the reduction in services to Stansted and Manchester must be good news for LDY.

[Fly757X]

Will be very minimal I would imagine.

EZY adding more flights BFS MAN, likely more STN too.

EZY adding more flights BFS MAN, likely more STN too.

The reason I, and no doubt the thousands of others each month, use LDY-STN is purely out of convenience. If I need to be in London by 10am what are my options? Get a taxi to LDY which takes 15 mins, or get to BFS two hours before departure (in total leaving home 3.5 hours before departure - ~3am). Add to that the fact that LDY is a delight to use. Unlike BFS, and with the reduction in security lanes until mid-month, it’s likely to be even more miserable. Therefore, the fact EZY are cheaper doesn’t come into it for many.

If ever there was a good reason to phase-out IATA codes, Lady Man and Man Lady must be it...

Ah yes, should've realised that!

interesting to see how the forecast passenger figures compare to the current ones

I assume this was part of their master plan from 2011 I think?

Chat recently between Mark Patterson, Radio Foyle, and Loganair. Apparently next on the menu for LM is a LDY-EMA route. Decent little network they’re setting up from Derry

Do you have a link to it, I've been looking for it but I can't find it?

[cuthere]

It’ll likely be on iPlayer, but in the meantime, check his post from 12.31 yesterday on his Facebook page: https://m.facebook.com/markpattersonshow
