Isn't it a foregone conclusion that Loganair will continue to operate the PSO flights between Dundee and London 🤔

If not, then I can't see any other airline operating it.

The only other airline might be Eastern Airways; they currently operate the PSO service on the WIC-ABZ route.

As they voted for Dundee City Council, they must be happy.

From May 2023 to July 2023 to/from Heathrow there have been an average of 2590 pax per month - that's arriving plus departing pax. Assuming numbers continue at this level, and rounding to the nearest pound, that gives a subsidy of £100 per passenger flying one way or £200 for a round trip.
An off-peak train fare from Dundee to London costs £ 96.40. There are typically 2 trains per hour from Dundee to each of Aberdeen and Edinburgh

Surely it’s £200 per passenger i.e. per single journey? £6.2m divided by c.31,000 pax a year. I wonder if the privileged 25 or so people on each flight have any idea how much they’re sucking the taxpayer?

Ah just spotted that the £6.2m is over 2 years, hence £100 per pax. Cheap!

I guess the question is whether the Dundee area gets more than £6.2 million value (inward investment or whatever) by having a direct air link to London. I haven't got a clue as to whether that is the case.

I use LNER from KGX to INV and the seats in standard are so uncomfortable. So I always compare airfares to LNER First Class which are marginally better (with decent food usually) for an 8 hr journey.

Just wondering if the 2 stored Loganair Dornier 328's are still at DND or have they now gone to new owners.

they are still at DND, but as per my post on the LM thread, Jethros is stating deregistered from UK register and onwards to German register. Not sure if they will fly out or will be broken up.

One of the two Dornier 328s in long-term storage at Dundee finally left on Saturday - and flew out under its own steam, which I think most thought we'd never see! Second likely to be a few weeks away from departure, I gather.

D-CDAJ (previously G-BYHG) was the aircraft - as I guessed, they're both heading to Deutsche Aircraft over at Oberpfaffenhofen.
