Im going to call BS on that theory. Look at SEN. Three based A319s. On many occasions they don't make it in, and they are based there.
If a based aircraft on the last sector of the day does give it a go, then as the night draws on and it cools, the fog will thicken and vis will worsen. I do not believe for one minute having a based plane will impact performance. Conversely, if a based plane was to operate a rotation from base with a good chance of not getting back then surely the ops department would be likely to cancel both the outbound and return flights so as not to get stuck down route overnight and affect the next days program. |

No, you're saying having an INV base would reduce the likelyhood of cancellations, I am saying it would not,

How are Flybe doing on the London City route? Has the introduction of the new route had an effect on the London Gatwick flights?

One stop to USA
|
Looking at the Inverness departures board things look pretty quiet, 4 London flights 1 Ams, 1Dub and a couple of flights to Manchester. Considering there is an ACP for controlled airspace it would be hard to justify any controlled airspace. Will the airspace be Monday to Friday? I guess it would be pretty expensive to have to cover 24 hours a day with radar controllers for just a handful of flights
bb |
They already have radar
|
And winter Saturdays are always very quite. Try looking during the summer, or on other days
|
I see there were 1483 passengers from Inverness to Dublin in November so approx. 25 each way if there were 30 flights, is that good? 2497 passengers on the Amsterdam so around 42 per flight sounds ok?

Flybe scraps Inverness to London City flights | Inverness Courier | News
In the three months to September the number of passengers fell by 5.7 per cent on the same period in 2013. The passenger figures for the three months to the end of 2014 have not yet been released. At the time the last set of figures were released Highlands and Islands Airports, which runs the Dalcross site, blamed a lower number of charter holiday flights, but added that it expected the new service to London City - and increased flight numbers to Manchester - to reverse that trend going into 2015. |
But AMS and DUB are once a day while LCY is twice
|
I don't think the AMS and DUB flight are at risk as the main difference is that these are codeshare flights with KLM and Aer Lingus.
Without any onward connectivity, any regional flight will struggle to stand alone. |
Not only that: they are lower frequency and consequently higher load factor
|
bean, what is the load factor on the LCY,DUB and AMS?
GusHoneybun, do code shares attract a higher or lower yeild? scr1, if you were to double the numbers on the single Dublin rotation it would still be less than the double daily LCY bb |
Bad Bear Yes you are right at the moment , But it was a odd time to launch the DUB route.
When aer aran flew to DUB it was dead in winter but busy in summer. And when Scot Airways did LCY from INV pax figs weer in the single digits often, But that was at a bad time of day. |
Full official CAA stats out on about 16th Jany alsp Flybe trading update for October to December due a week later. It will be very easy to work out load factors then
|
Based on CAA provisional stats for November load factors are:-
Inv-Dub 33.3% Inv-Ams 53.4% inv-Lcy 43.29% Of course we don't know the yields or forward booking performance of these routes |
