Im pretty sure the word “little” was a perfectly accurate adjective for the subject matter.

Now. Who are you? DC9? Mutley? One wonders the brains behind your username when you haunt NI forums.

Loganair interview in Derry Journal

The above article mentions Loganair's plans for expansion at LDY. Specifically it mentions EMA.

But wouldn't BHX be better? It has 12M pax vs EMA's 5M.

BHX also has a train station.

I would assume lower fees at EMA are playing a part,

EMA is just a freight airport.

Yeah that’s why TUI Ryanair Flybe and many other Passenger prominent airlines fly there .... because it’s just freight airport

Sunday LPL times incorrect. Correct times are A2025, D2050.

It has been rumoured that Loganair are considering establishing a base at EMA. If that is the case, then an EMA-LDY route may be a possibility.

Apparently EMA-BRU flight numbers and all appeared on the East Mids website before disappearing.

Loganair also no connection with BHX at all although no doubt they will be monitoring the Flybe situation closely if there is more changes to come.

Form what I’ve heard it’s more than likely a 2nd LDY based frame, thus leading to more routes.

Well done to CODA on that one of true.

If that is true then it is likely to be serving more than a single daily flight to EMA or wherever.

The current aircraft is serving twice daily to STN plus soon a single daily MAN flight.

The Loganair MD, Jonathan Hinkles, suggested thin(er) routes such as a once weekly summer seasonal to JER would be a potential much like the previous ones that operated in the late 90's minus the stop at St Angelo.

There’s an echo in here.....at least one.

A once weekly summer route is not going to occupy a full schedule so the plans must be more substantial than that if they are indeed to base a 2nd aircraft at LDY.
