Loganair-2

[Mike Flynn]

Loganair has axed their Norwich to Durham flights.

“Unfortunately, the Norwich – Durham route wasn’t performing in line with expectations with no signs of improving so we’ve taken the decision to withdraw the service from January 7th”

Although the NWI-MME has been axed, it appears the MME-ABZ is performing well quoting 66% of aberdeen pax travel with LM. I wonder, if anything, what Eastern may do to try and get some of these passengers back.

[rhutch28]

MAN-GLA flights not bookable after 19th January, is this route ending as well?

Also looks like all the NWI-ABZ flights are going to be codeshare with BMI

[kcockayne]

Loganair are also operating Norwich - Jersey next summer.

The cessation of GLA to MAN by Loganair has been discussed in great detail over on the Manchester thread if you want to have a look.

What colours is G-BVVK in now? Did it get the new Loganair livery?

[NickBarnes]

Yes photos I've seen on twitter show full new livery

[BAladdy]

Prior to being painted was G-BVVK the only aircraft still in BE livery or are there still SF3’s to be painted?.

[BAladdy]

Thanks for that info. What about the other all white SF3’s (apart from NZ) and S20’s?. Are LM waiting until they are due a period on maintainence to paint?.

[BAladdy]

There has been a couple of articles about Loganair that have mentioned they plan to simplify there fleet

https://www.ch-aviation.com/portal/n...tion-programme

Apart from removing the D328’s, what other ways could they simplify it?.

[DND delivery]

Are there any concrete fleet renewal plans at Loganair?

I recall a conversation with an old colleague last year and she mentioned Loganair were looking at introducing the ATR. However I can't remember if that was actually planned or just a rumour...

[canberra97]

Loganair operated two ATR 42-500 on short term leases in 2017 so I should imagine that the aircraft was definitely a candidate and under evaluation for any future fleet renewal.

The aircraft involved were

LY-DAT (Cityjet)
OY-RUO (Danish Air Transport)

[virginblue]

What else instead of ATRs could they buy for fleet renewal? Nothing on the market. The only choice will be between factory fresh ATR42-600s and second-hand ATR42-500s.

[rhutch28]

Didn't they also have G-HUET from Aurigny as well at one point

[Skipness One Echo]

Yes, flew on this DND-STN last year.
I think the ATR42 is the only aircraft small enough and young enough to replace the SF340s and even then is a little large and less robust IMHO.

[Michael S]

LY-DAT is actually DOT which essentially is Danish Air Transport with Lithuanian AOC.

[Michael S]

SF34 is robust but age makes it totally unreliable. AT42 isn’t much less robust but it is way way less troublesome. Even with higher fuel burn it’s cheaper to operate.
