Eastern airways `dog fight` at Aberdeen
So whats going off in granite City?
1st bmi-regional transfer the ABZ-EMA to Eastern, then do a code share from Dundee & Inverness, then a senior exce joins Eastern, following which bmi go head to head with Eastern on the NWI route! It seems that NWI now gets more rotations a day (8) than most major city pairs. An Eastern Captain in the cafe at EDI told me yesterday that (Eastern) are soon to start an ABZ-EBJ service on a J41 at much lower prices than bmi, who he said" milk " the route with £400.00+ fares. Mean while back here in EDI there is much talk of Scott Air doing the same to bmi on the EDI-LBA route with an early (06.55) departure to LBA. This route is supposed to be the `crown jewel` of bmi regionals network, sold only as `C` class at peak times. Only a couple of weeks to the winter timetable so we shall soon know, still turning up at 07.45 in Leeds doesn't mean you'll get in on misty morning at `Stalag` Yeadon.:confused: |
Well if Leeds-Edinburgh has become a crown jewel, then BM deserve it after turning round the shambles that Air UK then Gill had made.

Sorry to be dumb,but where is DCR?
|
I am guessing it's Doncaster? :confused:

Talking of airlines milking routes it will be interesting to see if competition on EDI-SOU from FlyBe will cause BA to drop their fares. Most of the time it is impossible to get anything other than full fare "C". £410 for a one hour flight is a rip-off.
