Videcom is the reservations system by the look of it. Not sure what they use at airports.

I stand to be corrected but I don't think they self-handle at any airports in which case it will be whatever system the handling agent uses i.e. probably different systems at different stations.

Whereas that's true, many airlines inc BA, EZY and BE have deployed their own systems at airports, then the GHA will use it. However given the size of Loganair's network (fairly small compared to others) in this instance, I wouldn't be surprised if they used the GHA's system, as this would be cheaper.

on the contrary don’t they self handle at most of the airports they operate from? Benbecula, Stornoway, Sumburgh, Barra etc. etc.? Maybe just the bigger airports like Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen Manchester etc do they use agents?

Yes, they handled for Flybe when they were head to head.

Based on a G-INFO search the following former BM aircraft have now been registered to Loganair as of 22MAR19 :

2 x ER4’s - G-RJXA, G-RJXB
2 x ER3’s - G-RJXK, G-RJXL

Will be interesting to see what LM has planned for there jer fleet beyond this Summer

.....parking probably. I have my concerns about this sudden and fragmented over expansion with ageing second hand inefficient jets.

I see the usual optimism on PPRUNE is still going strong!

Anyword on XG? Currently in Alverca.

Also, with the SF34s nearing the end, what will happen to LGNM/N and GNTB/F. Will the latter be replaced by younger BFs variants (potentially more of their own) Or will be see the entire SF34 fleet disappear. If so, would we say LM will scrap their mail services all together (would be detrimental to SYY etc) or will we see second hand AT42Fs come online in the future?

They'll be Royal Mail contracts so they'd not be able to just drop them, either terminate the contract or sub another airline in to cover.

SF34s will be around for a while yet.

Oh of course, not forever though, the ATR platform would be a good base but the lack of relatively young pre-loved freighters going around might be a difficult.

Loganair will operate there first flight from NCL to BRU/SVG and from GLA to DUS today.

Flights from NCL being operated by a ER3 for the duration of the summer schedule.

They will also begin operating a ER3 from NWI from tomorrow. Replacing a D328

From 1 June 2019 Loganir will be operating Glasgow - Isle Of Man, which has been without a service since Eastern withdrew

The three times the EDI schedule has worked for me have resulted in more than half of the passengers following each other to the tram, then onto Edinburgh Park, then onto a Glasgow train!!

[renfrew]

That is odd.
There is an excellent and frequent coach from the Airport to Glasgow.

[jijpc]

Also bookable 8 - 10 June but agree the flights aimed at visitors to the TT races.

I do the journey door to door in 90 minutes using a Helensburgh train on the (slightly slower if it's a Milngavie) - Airdrie-Bathgate line to either Partick or Hyndland (equidistant for me).
