You are confused. They were awarded the slots, they've not bought them.

The investment has been the 18 months they’ve paid to lease the until permanent award now which will need a return. Whether the IOM route last is where the only confusion lies..

What do you mean by leasing slots over 18 months? I don't think that's what they have done....

'New' in that they now have the slots themselves rather than using the COVID waiver slots from other airlines. Same for Flybe, they didn't actually have the slots in the way LM have... hence how they can be the 'first' in 28 years. All very 'technical'.

Loganair have launched a route pass covering the following routes:
  • Edinburgh - Southampton
  • Glasgow - Southampton
  • Aberdeen - Teesside
  • Aberdeen - Manchester
  • Aberdeen - Birmingham
I think Eastern offer something similar. Prices are geared towards business travellers!

They do from S23. They were awarded them recently.

I was just wondering about Loganair, regards their jet fleet.
They have the E135/145, but I wondered if they were the ones operating the Eastern E170, I only ask as I read somewhere, Loganair had some involvement .

Also, Would the Ejets , be a good fit for Loganair?.
It might enable them to offer , European destinations, even ' Holiday ' destinations , with the E190/E175 types.

Plus larger capacity from Glasgow , Edinburgh, Inverness etc , into LHR , rather than the Tiny ATR.
I'm not an expert on these matters, but do wonder if going forward, having the flexibility , to grow , but keeping to smaller sized Jet aircraft .
Especially, as the E135/E145, are getting rather old now .

Loganair have stated that the Atr is the future. They have no interest in operating trunk routes like Glasgow or Edinburgh to LHR.

As far as I am aware they had no involvement with the Eastern E170

The E135s are going/gone. The remaining Saabs will be replaced by recently ordered ATRs. No announcement has been made about the E145.

The E170 hasn’t operated for them and they have shown no interest in anything bigger than the ATR.

If you go back to when BA bought BCAL, Loganair was one of the airlines that applied to the CAA to replace BCAL on GLA/EDI to LGW. To bolster their case they acquired two 146s with which they proposed to operate the routes. However the route licences were awarded to Air UK instead and Loganair were stuck with the 146s which, IIRC, they mainly operated out of MAN. I think I can say with certainty that that was the end of Loganair’s interest in Scotland - London routes.

I wouldn’t say they have no interest in Scotland - London routes. They are currently operating Dundee to LCY and offering one stop to Kirkwall and Sumburgh. But I wouldn’t expect them to go up against BA on Glasgow or Edinburgh to London and especially not LHR. But Scot Airways held its own on LCY-EDI for years.

Didn't they quite categorically rule out EVER retrurning to the continent as routes inaugurated following Flybe's demise almost broke Loganair's back?

Loganair technically does still fly to “the Continent” as Denmark was attached to it last time I was there! Norway also is quite a sizeable operation now.

There were a few routes to Düsseldorf (GLA) and Brussels (NCL and EMA) launched post-bmi Regional that did not work and were dropped when Flybe went bust, with capacity moved to vacant domestic routes.

GLA-DUS was really tough going with ATC delays every day, a baggage loader taking a large chunk off an E145 wing one day and generally all too difficult. Don’t recall NCL-BRU being as troublesome but still obviously not as good as using the aircraft on Southampton and Exeter.

And I think there is no chance of E-Jets. Why would you want to go into direct competition with the big boys?
