Is the Embraer-135 aircraft economical to run? It must surely have an astronomical cost per seat compared to ATR-72/Q400 given that it seems to weigh the same (MTOW) but has half the passenger capacity.

The Embraers are also quite a bit faster too, and start to become more cost effective the longer the flight is. LDY-STN probably isnt long enough to start seeing the benefits though, but as mentioned, the cost of ownership probably helps.

bmi stops RLG-STR (Rostock - Stuttgart) due to "brexit" from beginning of January. Shortly they already reduced from 7/7 to 3/7. It is also not sure if they will fly the MUC-RLG route.

I don’t think it’s needed until the 1st day of the summer schedules, so maybe they’ve just put it back a bit because it is surplus to requirements at this time.

What for? (not trying to be smart, just wondering: given bmi's longer average sector lengths than Loganair, what bmi sectors would the ATR42 be suited for? Even if there were one or two, wouldn't it make more sense to sublease Loganair aircraft rather than duplicating the support overhead?)

I heard somewhere they were looking at an Austrian AOC but obviously nothing has came to light as of yet.

Edit - The 17.30 LDY - STN with G-RJXC was cancelled but they've relocated G-RJXB to get the evening STN passengers home to LDY.
