Any idea if they're going to get the SN codeshares on the BRU routes?

They are non-IOSA so under LH group airline rules will not be allowed to codeshare

I've seen bigger problems sorted where there's a will! They "operate them on behalf of someone else" who is, ...?

You've clearly never dealt with an LH Group company......

I'd take a punt to say that the codeshare wasn't worth it.

Logan have set fares starting at £80 one way which is a damn sight less than BMI did if I remember correctly.

Only time I flew the route was via a codeshare, connecting onwards from BRU and that was at ludicrously cheap fares - so much so I suspect the high price for those onboard just doing NCL-BRU sector was subsidising it. Plus BRU would be very much down the list of connecting airports I'd want to be stuck in!

Will they make any money? Who knows, it'll be tight I'd suspect!

XD has had Loganair titles applied over the bmi livery at EMA today.

I have a timetable from late 80s where the Loganair network was a bit like Flybe's. I was a travel agent at the time and they said that jets (146) didn't increase pax on BHD MAN and they were going. Not sure about having their fingers burnt but there was a big reorganisation where LC as they were then were restricted to Scotland and a lot of routes went to Manx.

Why (and when) did Loganair change their IATA code to LM?

I think in the 24 years between Loganair using LC and becoming BA and BE franchise partner the code lapsed. It's now used by Equatorial Guinea Airlines.

I have a screen shot somewhere of a BA to Loganair booking and BA website showing my connecting Loganair flight as being Equatorial Guinea Airlines!

How well I recall those days when the flight prefix produced such interesting itineries for my business travellers, some of whom must have thought that their travel agent had gone stark raving mad!!

Not the best hybrid livery but does the job for now!

Personally, I think something along these lines would have looked much better:

I guess time was of the essence and a decal was stuck on overnight, time would have to be booked in for the tail to be resprayed and the rudder rebalanced after repainting
so by the looks it needs a respray anyway so I don`t think it will keep that scheme for long

Or added a St Andrew's Cross on the blue part of the tail with the Loganair emblem on the white part below.

Rudder rebalancing is a nightmare after any paint input, so avoiding a lot of work on the tail is best. As for the rest - I don't suppose it matters if the aircraft aren't going to be in these colours for long, as I have to guess the intention will be.

On the 22nd Feb, 6x ex-BMI Regional/flybmi E145s were re-registered to Loganair.
The aircraft were G-RJXC,XD,XE,XH,XI and XM.
These join Loganair's E145 G-SAJC and E135 G-SAJB making a total Embraer fleet of 1x E135, and 7x E145.

[Severn]

ex-BMI Regional/flybmi E145s G-EMBI, BJ and BN are also in the process of being re-registered. Although it can't be seen to whom they are destined for, they started the process on the 18th Feb, only two days after BMIs demise so I assume they may also end up with Loganair making a fleet 1x E135 and 10x E145s!

Potentially being registered to their leasing company AeroCentury.

I thought Loganair were to receive 2 E135's & 2 E145's from Flybmi for summer 19?

I would have thought that the other 3 E135's (G-RJXK, XL & XP) would potential transfer across.

That would leave 5 E145's (G-RJXA, XB & XG, along with G-CKAF & AG) still with Flybmi, although we may see a few of these transferred, if not all.

How many does that leave?

3 @ 135 G-RJXK, XL, XP.
5 @ 145 G-CKAF, AG, G-RJXA, XB, XG

I am working from the current fleet listed for BMI on FR24. I wonder if they are all operational.
