Do they publish the list of the other interested parties after the winner of the PSO has been announced , is that how it works.

Anybody know how it works ????

What's the idea of a PSO that operates once a week?

I was of the impression that their plan was to begin operations mid-summer, ie July time. Happy to be corrected - either way it is too late for a start at the beginning of the season.

Loganair has lost its PSO between Stornoway - Benbeclua.

New operator to be Hebridean Air Services to launch April 2024

If I'm not mistaken, they operate the services from Oban (Connel ) airport to Colonsay Coll and Tiree. There's going to be a lot of positional flying. They're part of Airtask and at Oban use a BN2B, which may be a better size for the route

perhaps linked to the change in aircraft type:

Flying routes they did not fly prior to the fall of Flybe and 1/3rd bigger with the ex BMI EJR fleet.

When Loganair made the following announcement .......“Inverness to Birmingham and Dublin will operate their last flights on 5th January 2024,

Did that mean a reduction of a based aircraft at Inverness, or are Loganair still operating with an ATR42 and an Embraer 145 based at Inverness these days.

If so, on what routes are both types operating.

[Atlantic Explorer]

No E145 based at INV anymore, just an ATR 42 for passenger services. I believe the based freighters will also leave early summer as well.

I saw a post elsewhere suggesting the freighters would soon be operating from Glasgow ?

Yeah I believe they are being transferred to GLA. Not great news for the INV base which has taken a hammering.

This aircraft has been sitting in ABZ beside the railway for a long time without engines and is well taped up, as an E135ER I guess it doesn't fit well in the fleet and probably not attractive in the general market.

Anyone know of plans for it?

No.. Seeing the other 135s have been sold or torn down, I doubt getting it back into service is a serious option mind.

It won't fly again - just needs final part-out to be completed to finally disappear.

Shame, that was LM’s first Embraer.

Embraer as a supporter of EJRs outside of Europe is better. Inside Brexit land is even worse. USA has the EJRs. So many Loganair employees voted for leave. Moan that things are Pete Tong.

Glad it’s not just me trying to decipher that post! I’m wondering what an EJR is??

[SWBKCB]

EJR = Embraer Regional Jet. How Embraer describe the 145 family.

Crucial error there - it's an ERJ surely!
