VLM
 
Antwerp to be canned as the operator cuts back scheduled ops.

What a waste of time that was.

Literally two's of people will be looking for alternatives...

Local press have only just caught up with the axing of Antwerp. Sadly the problems of VLM ran much deeper than that as the owners have decided to liquidate the airline.

Couple of things noticed recently....

KLM utilising a F100 on the 2nd AMS flight pretty regularly KL1443/4

Cityjet RJ85 operating the daytime AFR flight for the last few days at least - is that now permanent?

CaptainDoony 13th Sep 2018 18:10

The Fokker 100, nice to see, is with us for the rest of S18, daily 1-5. AMS also increased to 5x daily M-F coinciding wth the Fokker until end of S18.

The WX RJ is also in covering for Hop’s chronic crew shortage, expected to be until end of summer too. Also loads of cancellation on CDG, nightstopper tonight included

Hitting the buffers?

Thanks for the info Capt D.

Don’t know the schedule for this winter, but Wizz to go 3w on GDN with the introduction of a Thurs flight in S19.

It would seem that for the time being at least anyway, a Bulgaria Air 319 is operating exclusively to ABZ on behalf of HOP.

CaptainDoony 4th Oct 2018 17:04

Until the end of the summer to relieve Hop's major crewing issues.

CDG service has been absolutely abysmal with dozens of cancellations over the summer months. Been no problems since the A319 showed up

Eastern ending Stornoway flights

Doesn't appear Loganair will step in either, so another link gone.

Just wait for the news about London City next...

Richard Taylor 9th Oct 2018 18:08

Yes, can't be many Aberdeen routes making money these days. Wonder if the owners regret that terminal extension now? 2018 been a pretty grim year.

fjencl 10th Oct 2018 11:26

What news is coming about London city next .....!!!

awwdabaaby 10th Oct 2018 12:45

Think it's because Eastern are operating the London City route for Flybe

Richard Taylor 12th Oct 2018 18:04

Eastern apparently have also cut NCL to just morning & teatime flights. I really do wonder how long before they end schedules altogether.

Flightrider 12th Oct 2018 20:53


Eastern apparently have also cut NCL to just morning & teatime flights.
That's before the new additional flights are loaded. Those'll be the ones from Aberdeen to London City which will very soon be stopping at Newcastle on the way up and down. Bonkers.

And BA will be cutting ABZ-LHR back next summer as well - BA1310/1311 and 1312/1313 both gone.

CaptainDoony 12th Oct 2018 21:22

A stop in NCL? Bound to draw the punters in :}

Have had a look at a few random days and months next summer and BA is 8x daily most days I looked. Actually looks like an improvement on this year if anything?

Good news for my local (NCL) but I agree, it's going to make the ABZ-LCY less attractive.
Depends how long the stop is I suppose: Oh for the days when Air UK F27s used to pop into NCL on the way from ABZ to Norwich, loading and unloading in a few mins while the engines were still running (or is my memory playing tricks on me? It was a while ago :) )
