The Xplore Dundee coach service to Edinburgh Airport has apparently been very successful in its first months of operation with peak services being operated by two coaches simultaneously. This must surely be taking a fair chunk of DND-STNs customers?

Pax numbers on DND-STN have been heading backwards and last stats show average load of 57%. The existing SEN routes all have loads of 62-63%, which is clearly better including on CAX which is both a brand new route with somewhat faster link to London area by train. On that basis I can’t see what harm shifting to SEN would do, and can’t see the benefit of upgrading to an ATR unless they’ll be attempting to boost demand by lowering fares.

With Flybe ending there Manchester to Glasgow route, do we think Loganair will take that on as well https://www.routesonline.com/news/38...nsions-in-w19/

If you think that level of direct analogy works, you cannot seriously be an airport planner. DND-STN is predicated on getting Dundonians into London, it's already hard pressed to do so offering a service to STN, whereas the old Suckling LCY-DND did quite well as it served the heart of (East) London, it had a selling point of dropping you into Central London and charged a premium for doing so. The USP of a DND-STN is nowhere near so strong, the marketability of SEN on that basis even less so. Now if you want to serve DND-SEN then fair play, but it's not realistic to compare it as a fast service connecting Dundee to London worthy of a taxpayer subsidy. I live in London, going all the way to Southend-on-Sea to catch a turboprop to Dundee when they're an hourly jet from LHR-EDI is nonsense on stilts. By all means go after the point-to-point niche market but THAT should not be subsidised.

According to the LCY W19 start of season report, Loganair have been given slots for a Dundee service 11x weekly starting from Feb 2020. https://www.acl-uk.org/wp-content/up...son-report.pdf

Something odd when attempting to book LDY-MAN in Jan 2020 with Loganair.
Only bookable days in Jan 2020 are the Friday 3rd Jan and Sunday 5th Jan. All other days showing a red X and 'Sold Out'.
Anyone know whats up?

After reading the fleet lists on Jethros and planespotters.net, I have realised that the youngest of the ex-HOP AT45s due to replace the S2000 fleet is older than the youngest S2000! Whats the point of introducing a "new" 24 year old fleet? Surely even if they are cheaper to run, they'd have to be replace them relatively soon?
