Looks like Flybmi have reduced the LDY-STN-LDY rotation to 1 a day instead of the normal 2 a day for a few days in January.
Started today the 9th and other dates are below. No doubt they have identified those as quiet days but regardless this was supposed to be a business friendly service and on those 4 days there is no chance of a day return. It appears to be only the evening flight running.
I wonder how this fits in with the rules (if any) of the PSO obligation?

No Scodaman. I do often wonder if you read relevant threads or postings!
This has already been covered. However: as they ADDED flights prior to Christmas, they have to reduce flights post-Christmas to balance the numbers under PSO rules.

I know that Stobart were up to three times daily on Kerry-Dublin, with one of the frequencies at their own commercial risk. Seems to be back to twice daily at the moment though.

Question about BM’s Lease Agreements
Was wondering if anyone knows the answer to a couple of questions I have regarding the lease agreement BM have/had with Brussels Airlines, Eastern Airways and Nordica.
Brussels Airlines
A couple of months ago I posted that flights between BRS and BRU currently operated/marketed by BM and codeshared with SN and SN’s flights to HAJ, NTE and SXB operated by BM were showing as being operated by SN using a WX RJ85 in the S19 schedule. BM operated/marketed flights between BRU and NUE are now also showing as operated by SN using a WX RJ85 for S19.
A couple of replies mentioned that the RJ85 could be being used as a place holder and could be updated in the future. With 10 weeks to go until the S19 schedule begins, could this still be the case?
Eastern Airways
BM have been operating flights between ABZ and NWI on behalf of T3/BE since mid February, with BE’s website stating that the flights are operated by BMI Regional on behalf of Eastern Airways.
I just made a booking for late March and noticed that flights after 30MAR19 are showing as operated by Eastern Airways, with no mention of BM.
Does anyone know if the current lease agreement is scheduled to end prior to S19?.
Nordica
BM had for a number of years and until recently operated a ER4 on behalf of Nordica. The last flight I can find that BM operated was back in mid December. Has this lease now ended?.

Wasn't that airframe for Nordica's Groningen operation to MUC and CPH? The routes were axed on Dec 29 by Nordica and since mid-December Nordica operated the last few remaining flights with its own metal (CR7).

From the schedule (BRS-GOT Mon and Thurs; GOT-BRS Tues and Fri), this was clearly a positioning flight linked to something else. I understand bmi has been operating a twice-weekly charter flight between Gothenburg and Lyon (automotive-industry IIRC) so I assume that this charter contract has gone away, and with it the reason for BRS-GOT as well.

I don't know what to think about this, I've only heard this within the last few minutes from a friend...

G-RJXE/XP and EMBN are all going to NWI as we speak.

Edit: Tried to "book" a flight from Londonderry but was met with a warning.

Looking at the Companies House records, there was a change of address of Loganair’s offices at Glasgow (which on the face of it isn’t unusual), but the accounts are overdue and the last recorded accounts from 2017 showed a loss.
