Loganair are due to open a Base at Teeside for S21.
Frequencies for the Loganair Teeside routes are:
• 10x weekly Aberdeen.
• 7x weekly Belfast.
• 7x weekly Dublin.
• 3x weekly Newquay.
• 1x weekly Jersey (on a W-pattern)
Will equate to a based E145 at Teeside for S21.
Thanks to SeanM1997 for the info.

I can only assume that LM must be getting incentivised to operate at MME, as they have, for example, chosen to ignore CWL, which is a proven volume market (with no competition, unlike MME) with regular volumes on some unserved routes in excess of 10K pax per month ? Seems odd. I don’t really understand the need to take risks in the current climate. Strange commercial logic.

If Loganair have acted this way solely for the sake of competition - they've track record with this and Flybe up in Scotland - at the current time when such large chunks of the former Flybe network still remain so unserved, it astounds me. Scotland's airline trying to get a little bit big for its' boots I think here.

The situation with Flybe starting Highlands and Islands routes was the other way round - Loganair was the incumbent and Flybe (who used Eastern to fly on their behalf) sought to compete on those routes (though not for long as it turned out). So I think the two situations aren't analogous and don't amount to a track record of Loganair acting 'this way'.

Largest regional airline in the UK big enough for you?
You have a track record yourself for displaying contempt for Loganair in various threads, give it a rest fella.
Hinkles is on record as saying they don't want to expand massively south of the border, and that they will operate to other parts of the UK only where it's a safe bet due to clear market need (in normal times), the routes from EDI/GLA to SOU being a prime example (as they were trunk routes for Flybe), aswell as others into MAN, BHX, BHD (and to a lesser extent BRS, EXT and NQY). This does seem to go against that strategy a bit.

There's a video of the mayor talking about it. Sounds pretty clear to me that this is taking on the routes instead of Eastern, rather than as well as - and that he is supporting it. He mentions a three year contract.
I'd have thought any airline would be mad to turn down something of this nature right now if it was offered to them.

An announcement is expected imminently on plans by Loganair to launch services between London Heathrow and the Isle of Man. The Manx government is considering whether the taxpayer should foot the bill for daily flights to Heathrow until the border reopens. Loganair’s managing director Jonathan Hinkles said the island is an ’increasingly important part’ of the Scottish carrier’s network.
In another airline news site called Anna Aero, Jonathan Hinkles, managing director of Loganair, said: ’Our core is still Scotland and Newcastle, plus the Isle of Man now.’ Loganair has three core non-stop routes this winter - Liverpool, London City, and Manchester. Mr Hinkles said: ’Our operations base in the Isle of Man is already set up. We don’t want to create a new base anywhere else.’
Mr Hinkles told the aviation news website: ’We’ve operated to London City for some time, but the Isle of Man Government has a long-standing ambition to be reconnected with Heathrow. We’re still working on the route. We’re in discussions with the island’s government about it, but it must be part of a long-term plan. Our objective must be about the longer-term.’
