Loganair-2

Do better than “LOL”, at least try to add something...

Small volume routes the big boys won’t go for on a jet that’s not super expensive to fly at current fuel prices. Knowing EDI they’ll be bussing for miles like flybe alas.....

The route isn't compatible with the ERJ135.

Which route isn’t compatible ?

Link says that BGO, SVG and GCI will be on E135
and ILY is on S340.

I seem to recall that GCI cannot take a fully loaded 145 due to stopping distance, but the 135 is ok - am I right?

[kcockayne]

No problem then, Jerbourg, when the runway has been extended. I

Is take off distance not the issue?

Loganair website now has Orkney inter-island airports listed in drop down menu.
With Flybe being valued at £24m last week might BM/LM pounce? That would be a turn up!

How would that benefit them?

Does anyone have any ideas on what the next route announcements will be, I expect Glasgow will get a few and Edinburgh will also probably get a few more routes seeing as the based Emb135 at Edinburgh only has a daily flight scheduled and would be sitting around for a while.

Have you had a look at who owns it? I think they have the strength to do pretty much anything their owners want to do. The key in there is the shareholders wanting to do something, which can't always be taken as a given.

Restore connectivity lost when Flybe threw their toys out of the pram.

Before a restructure which saw Manx take over most of their routes, Loganair was a huge UK regional airline. Flybe routes like Belfast to Manchester, Glasgow and Edinburgh were all Loganair routes.

The E135 is NWI based. The EDI Euro routes are being operated as a W pattern from there, so I reckon the next announcement will be GLA routes only.

[mullac30]

The INV ERJ has a fair bit of spare time, especially in the winter, any chance of more euro routes from INV? Perhaps CDG with their AF/KLM links? They could ever do this route from GLA as well, seeing that they might have more success than HOP with their smaller A/C.

Nothing yet about the proposed Carlisle routes.....if a March 19 start is planned, surely they must be going on sale soon?

I always get slightly concerned about non based W patterns in terms of time keeping and reliability, especially with a random fleet

Over Longer sectors they tend to work better. In this case it will be hit or miss, especially considering GCI's regular spells of low vis.

[GoEDI]

The E135 schedule is certainly tight during the week. 8 sector days with generally only 30-45mins ground time.

GCI is a seasonal flight only on saturdays, so very little risk as the aircraft will most likely have a more relaxed schedule on saturdays.
