Probably because of fog at Manchester since early hours even causing Hainan to divert and
still only about 375m

The OP said 'when flying' .....

The flight has left Inverness at 10:50, the aircraft has been changed again. It's now RJXG, yesterday it was RJXA which had swapped out with RJXM a few days earlier. Maybe the aircraft are not the problem, they need to get it sorted whatever it is.
The Dublin flight which the aircraft should be running now has been put back to 14:30 which I think is the time of the next scheduled Manchester flight. It will be a ruined weekend for many.

Is there an alternative ground handling company offering services at Kirkwall and Sumburgh? If not, at public airports it is simply a question of competition law resulting in an obligation to contract for the monopolist.

Cheeky ad from Loganair... the 'No Maybe' ... wonder who that could be referring to?

Having said that, Loganair are in hot water over numerous schedule changes that they didn't tell people about. They've quietly dropped the second EDI-WIC-EDI rotation which operated a couple of days a week.
