Fair points. I was hoping the accounts would have broken down their revenue by charter / freight work and pax.

Presumably the contract flying includes patient transport under an NHS contract. This will be on normal scheduled services.

Loganair are terminating services between Edinburgh and Derry from January 3, citing rising fuel costs and competition from LCCs from Belfast. Increasing flights from Derry to Glasgow.

Which makes no sense?

Makes sense to consolidate into one route to be honest, Glasgow has stronger historical and cultural links to the northwestern part of Ulster & Ireland.
The Glenshane Pass is still a pain in the rear end in the winter!

Some very crude analysis - if you take the 20% from contract and charter work off their turnover then scheduled flying is losing them quite a bit of money. No contract and charter work and that £17.8m gross profit becomes a £14.5m loss.

They're making revenue per pax of about £142, which is to be commended.
How is the part time Accountancy job going?

LOG to acquire up to 8 ATRs (doesn't say split between 42/72 unless I've missed it) to replace the remaining 8 Saab 340Bs, which seem to have been sold/disposed stateside over the coming months.

Interesting. I was sure someone said the ATRs were unable to have the capability like for like with the Saabs for eg crosswind landings. Perhaps they have now revised after a few years experience. Wonder what will ultimately replace the Embs

Initially thought the same but the ATR 42 actually has a higher crosswind limit than the Saab. 42knots vs 35knots if I remember correctly, I was quite surprised!

Isn’t a bit odd to commit to such a substantial investment a very short time after putting the business up for sale? What if potential new owners see a different way forward?

I wonder how "new" these 8 will be. The previous batch were not much newer than the aircraft they were replacing.

My understanding is that they want an owner who will maintain Loganair's position as a provider of essential air services in Scotland.

By deciding on fleet renewal before disposal they are indicating that if you want to be the custodian of this business you will follow our plan because our plan is best.

It's more likely that this has been the plan for some time and only being made public now. You don't pull together an entire sale of the Saab 340s and lease replacement ATRs in the space of a couple of weeks.

Operating crosswind limit on the 42s is the same as the 340 at 35kts. 72 is 27kts on a wet runway.

Saabdriver, I absolutely agree with you, the fleet renewal plan should have been in progress for some time. However the timing of the sale wasn't forced on the owners, that is entirely their decision.

Loganair said they didn’t expect a sale until much later next year so it’s not unreasonable to continue running the carrier as normal in the meantime. Any new buyer would do their due diligence and be aware of any commitments the carrier has made before making their decision on whether or not to purchase.

Since the current owners of Loganair don't need to sell, they want to sell, so they should be able to be picky as regards who buys the business, and could take into account not just the best price, but what is also best for the business, its customers and its employees so carrying forward their current strategy appears a thoroughly sensible move.

It is to be hoped that the sale doesn't wind up being to "vulture" capitalists or a private equity firm, again particularly for the well being and employment security of the staff.

Didn't British World have some operational issues with their ATR72 when operating into Shetland? Or was this mainly a Scatsta issue?
