ABZ - LGW ? Then maybe the CAA would visit more to see what the Oil guys are up too ........ |
LHR
I count 52x weekly in November 8x 1-5 5x 6 7x 7 Haven’t checked the whole winter but pretty much back to peak BA LHR capacity from a few years ago.. BA seem to be very busy on LHR this summer, a decent Avios Reward Flight is rare as hens teeth currently! |
AirlinerRoute suggests LHR increase to 50 per week W19 |

Given that there are flights from ABZ to NCL & MAN you'd have thought there was enough of a market in S of the Thames for a couple of flights a day LGW - ABZ
It's not as if fares out of LHR are cut throat after all............. |
There is a market it’s just not one making enough of s profit for BA or EZY I think. |

Wideroe increase Bergen flights
https://www.eveningexpress.co.uk/fp/...-and-aberdeen/
From Sept this year; additional Sun flight & reinstating a 3rd weekday rotation. |
I believe some of the extra Wideroe rotations will be on the E190-E2 as well. Also nearly 30k pax on AMS in May, busiest May for the route. Not hard to see why ABZ-AMS will be the most frequent Scottish route in W19 - 5x daily compared to as little as 3x daily at EDI/GLA. |
GLA and EDI are also served by easyJet to AMS though. |

AMS isn't the only global hub, and EDI has flights to almost all of them.

KLM are more interested in feeding their Global hub rather than Easy’s O&D? Am actually heading back to ABZ as I type and it’s like a ghost town, great to see so many airport hotels but occupancy appears to be very, very light. Be very interested to see what the future holds as oil traffic continues to wind down. |
ABZ - LBA?
Typical - I now have a regular requirement to travel to ABZ from LBA, just in time for direct flights to stop. Where would be the best place to enquire about any future plans to bring back the LBA - ABZ service? |

Maybe that is why I have posted my query here? |
There is MAN, MME and HUY which Flybe serve to ABZ. However MAN will likely to be cheapest as will be Flybe operated whereas T3 operated flights from MME, HUY & NCL may be more expensive.

ABZ-LBA
Unfortunately the ABZ-LBA route won't be returning anytime soon as pax figures and yields were abysmal when T3 operated it. More routes in time will start to be reduced or culled completely.

MAN works if desperate but it involves various train journeys just to get there - before the fun and games starts! |
The alternative of 5.5 to 6.5 hours on a train won't be particularly appealing. Something needs to be done to speed up the train services north of York; Durham, Morpeth, Berwickshire, Fife and Montrose to Aberdeen are particularly slow sections. A circa 60mph average speed between Aberdeen and Leeds, and an average of a good bit less than that on the Aberdeen to Edinburgh section, in trains that are capable of 125mph just goes to show how unfit for purpose the Victorian rail infrastructure is.
