I haven’t noticed any extra capacity, I must have a look.

Had a look at Loganair and FR. No additional flights are apparent. I wonder (but currently doubt) if there are some inbound charters planned. Interesting to see the apron in a week or so.

Interesting stats in this article. I’m surprised CoDA gets so few business jets (hope the link works - the Bel Tel web page requires a log-in):

I think it's been worded wrong, there is normally around 15-16 Business Jets in July alone, not over the course of a year. Still great to see the Increase!

Thanks Fly757x. I thought that figure was low. I often see biz jets parked up when using LDY.

There was 245 "Business" movements last year to be more precise.

Quite the misquote from the Bel Tel - actually, I’m not remotely surprised! Thanks again for the info.

Not sure if SuperBreak had any more charters planned... they have today ceased trading.

They didn’t, however they did offer city break deals on the scheduled flights from LDY.

Booking flights from LDY-GLA earlier I noticed that the route is up to 6x weekly for the winter. Daily except Saturday. With LPL also increasing to 4x weekly I do wonder how many other small, regional airports see an increase on some routes in winter as compared to summer. I appreciate MAN is down to 5x week, but EDI frequency remains the same.

Is this replacing the Stansted route? The article says it will be PSO-supported and I can't see a PSO supporting two competing routes to the same city.

Surely this is LM consolidating its LON operations at one airport?

I would certainly say it is. DND-LON is up for renewal soon too from what you be read so it could well go to SEN too.

SEN is a much nicer airport to travel to/through than STN. Having said that, the last time I was there, FR weren’t operating, so perhaps the additional PAX they generate may make a difference.

The departure I’d imagine will be circa 08:30-09:00 as it is now, along with the other Loganair departures. That means the based BE/EZY/FRs will have all gone and you’ll have about two people in front of you at security as I did the other week. Same in the evening, there might be some pax for the later AMS/DUB routes and maybe some for Wizz on certain days but it certainly won’t be anything ridiculous.

An LDY-SEN service can only be the transfer of existing Loganair from STN to SEN, unless someone is getting expansive enough to start a competing London route from CoDA without any Government support (which would then negate the need for the existing PSO service!)? The idea of a Public Service Obligation is to obligate an airline through public support to maintain a single air service on a critical trunk corridor where it would not otherwise exist. Not to throw public money at a series of parallel routes, ensuring that all of them become undermined and unviable.
