The argument for the Aberdeen is that the passengers are there, but it's not sustainable with two operators. But if eastern were to use a larger aircraft themselves it maybe.
The question for Eastern would be high profit margin low revenue (j41) or low profit margin higher revenue (s2000/atr/embraer). That's Easterns commercial decision.
Obviously the airport wants the latter. Eastern may not.
could all change re the Cardiff rumour!

Eastern run a number of routes from Humberside to Teesside then Aberdeen but have never actually sold the route between Humberside and Teesside so it might be the same with Cardiff.

This is all down to poor performance on the ncl-cwl and a sheer lack of available aircraft. Wasting money sending the saab or 145 from huy via mme to abz while an aircraft gets wasted at ncl. The 41s have had their day with more getting wfu than in service and very few available to supply the parts required, added to the number of engineers they laid off and couldn't recover.

Eastern
Flybe website confirms that the mid morning Aberdeen flights have all changed to lunchtime, which seems to confirm the CWL-MME-ABZ and return, as same times as Newcastle is now? But unable to book MME-CWL as yet.
Eastern NCl- ABZ down to 1 flight a day in the afternoon.

Bit of an odd announcement, new routes and airline partner without mentioning what and who, but brilliant news for the airport and good work.
Nice timing as well, same week as the Mayor's major election rival launched her campaign....
'Major milestone' for Teesside Airport as daily Dublin and Belfast flights announced

The Saab appears to be positioning in to operate the Aberdeen.

More detail from the Gazette:
The new routes will roll out from next month and, after almost a decade, will see the return of flights to Dublin in time for St Patrick’s Day, starting at £69.99. There will also be daily direct connections to Belfast City Airport, Cardiff and Southampton. From May 30 this year, passengers will also be able to fly to the Isle of Man on a seasonal service.
This announcement, which includes 37 new flights per week, will add 185,000 seats each year, more than doubling the number of available seats. To help ensure reliability, an engineering base will be created at the airport to serve the aircraft operating the new Eastern Airways routes. Tickets will be available to buy in the coming days.

Sounds like it, three based aircraft in the announcement but that will include the current J41 for Aberdeen, the mid day Aberdeen now being operated by Cardiff - which rotates their aircraft through Aberdeen to swap it. Two Saab’s based here for the rest?

MME has no viable future as a commercial airport, its a waste of tax payers money.
