Hopefully they do not overstretch themselves and get into trouble as a result...
Would probably be wiser to take a more cautious approach. They are sort of the last man standing for UK domestic travel in the regions. If they go under as well, it is back to horse carriages and steam engines.

They really are applying a scattergun approach aren't they. It makes sense that they seize upon the opportunity that BEs demise has provided before others have, but surely it would be more sensible to concentrate on building at BEs biggest bases, rather than opening routes at numerous different airports? With all the Airbus and oil contract work, the contracts with lesser airports like Carlisle that were pursued when BE were still a force, it sounds like they are going to be fighting on a lot of fronts, and perhaps spreading themselves too thinly? I hope it works out for them, but it seems like regional travel needs to retrench to a few key airports.

I guess their hands are tied in some respects as before BE collapsed they were forced to look at the lesser airports and routes that no one served. I am sure they would like to cancel some of those routes now but would probably receive a lot of bad publicity as a result. Saying that, BEs demise has been on the cards for sometime so perhaps they should have kept their powder dry in anticipation. launching IOM - LPL in competition with EZY also seems a very strange move. There is surely a lot more lower hanging fruit for them to grab. Gold star for anyone who can come up with a more ridiculous route than ABZ - NQY as well. Pretty sure there is not much oil business being done on Newquay beach.

And in other news during these gloomy times for the Airline industry, here is a nice video showing a few Loganair departures from Southend to Aberdeen and Londonderry (City of Derry) Airport.

There's a lot of rubbish being talked on here.
Was there earlier on today and we had six flights in EMA today in all - three each to GLA and EDI. Funny way of pulling out.
A shedload of under-performing routes have been taken out in the last two months - NWI/MAN, EMA/BRU, GLA/SEN, ABZ/SEN, NCL/BRU - frees up five E135/145s in all. IOM-LPL is basically a patient travel bus. And ABZ-NQY was served with a flight every Saturday for years by Flybe with a DH8-400 and to be flown this summer with a much smaller E145 on the same basis.
Would a hint of factual accuracy be too much to expect?!
they've pulled out of EMA completely.

And you should claim the Gold Star for ABZ-NQY. If there is any flying at all this summer, 'Staycation' routes like this could do better than normal.
Loganair just announced 15-20% drop in forward bookings and subsequent reduction of 700 flights in April and May.
Got to be be one of the worst times to be starting new routes, albeit with a possible delay to these announced today.
