Loganair-3

[inOban]

My assumption is that residents of Coll will have to get the ferry to Tiree to catch their flight. Hebridean Airways operate the routes out of Oban.

Someone is going to have to help me here: "low carbon leather"??

Good to see, although arguably a drop in the ocean compared to the per person fuel consumption of a 49 seat regional jet...

​​​​Looks like a good refresh though, keeping the comfy looking seats.

It strikes me as though airlines are a bit of a soft target for environmentalists as they're damned if they're not seen to be reducing their carbon emissions/impact, and then shamed with claims of 'greenwashing' when they attempt to make an effort to do so; how is it possible to actually please these people...?!

As Adfly rightly points out above, it’s a bit comical making a thing about low carbon leather when they’re blasting about the skies in a fuel thirsty jet at low altitudes on short sectors in a low capacity aircraft.

What do you expect for an essentilal journey between islands. They could go by car and boat which would probably use more fuel and take several times the journey time

Don't think the EMB-145's do much of the Highlands and Islands stuff.

[chaps1954]

Never said they did, they do the trunk routes, even MAN doesn`t get that many now and as more ATRs arrive less and less

Last Saab 340 flight was today I believe. End of an era!

They do a bit. Fr24 tells you what and whem. Especially Stonoway.

What do you know? Oslo, Stavanger, Bergen, Southampton, Exeter. Check FR24 and see the heights the EJRs are flying. Top of the shop? Only time they will not is if the MEL says no. Or our not fit for purpose NATS..

Last 340 flight is a while away yet - yesterday was the last one in Glasgow but they'll keep going at Aberdeen until the next ATR deliveries eventually turn up to take over. January is the latest but that's already moved several times so anybody's guess. 3 x 340s left in service as of this week.

The 145 operates to SYY and BEB but can't operate north (KOI + LSI) as the runways aren't adequate. Most of the 145 sectors are longer stage lengths where they're a lot faster than the ATRs which tend to fly the shorter stuff. New 145 cabin looks good although haven't seen it in person yet - it's only on one so far, with the rest following over the next 12 months.

I couldn’t see a huge difference in cabin pics, same tweed headrests, yellowy lighting etc, so yes would be good to see on my next trip to SYY. Just a shame the overheads are beyond useless!

The overhead lockers are what they are. Cannot redesign something that was designed 25 years ago for a limited sized cabin. Airports do not help by not using the size slot boxes to check that luggage will fit in an EJR overhead and bring through items that are Valet size. I feel sorry for the cabin crew and engineers that have to sort out a jammed overhead because someone has shoved in a bag that is obviously too big to fit in,

Happened on BHX - ABZ this evening, I’m sure it was resolved however unaffected pax were off before someone from maintenance would come and release it, cabin and flight deck crew tried and were unable to open the door, it looked like the bin had moved slightly after an unsuitable bag was rammed in before anyone could intervene.

Art to releasing the lock if the hatch is jammed shut.

What’s with all the cancellations the last few weeks? At least a flight a day cancelled at SOU. NCL flight cancelled this morning and the EDI route just did one loop then went into BOH. Another flight was in the hold and after a few loops landed at SOU without issue. Must say I will have no sympathy if EZY move in at SOU.
