I wonder if another airline will pick up the BRU route?

Suspect they'll go after the Airbus contract routes first, which bmi had just taken back off them

The thing is I would think they would probably have to have a codeshare agreement with SN I don’t know if T3 have that

APD affects everyone equally - what is needed to build more robust airlines is (shock horror) higher fares. As long as someone can come in and offer very low fares then everyone but the true LCA's will continue to bleed slowly to death

Passenger Statistics has now been re-instated on Newcastle Airport's website, although only from last year (Previously these were shown from 2016) :

The historic problem has been that due to EU law, it would be seen as discriminatory to not levy APD on UK domestic routes whilst charging it on similar length UK<>EU routes. Of course things could potentially change in this area...

Loganair to operate the following ex-BMI services from Newcastle:
  • Newcastle to Stavanger (commences 25th March)
  • Newcastle to Brussels (commences 25th March)

Also creating a base up here, good news indeed!

Well that was quick they don’t hold back. Hopefully they can bring more routes to the airport but Welcome Loganair. Hopefully they will take on the ex flyBMI crew to operate it probably saving them money doing that

N707ZS 17th Feb 2019 16:09

Think they will need the crew and the aircraft to operate the routes.

NCL-TRC 17th Feb 2019 16:27

Good news indeed given the situation, hopefully they’ll put some thought into adding more than just BRU and SVG. I suspect Eastern will be watching this rather closely given Loganairs links to Aberdeen...

I would very much suspect LM will transfer ex BM NCL crew over as they are all ready to go on the EMB 145s which LM will be operating out of NCL. Just new uniform, training etc before start of service as well as negotiating employment contracts.

the positive here (given both companies were under common ownership with access to trading information) is that the NCL routes must be doing well or they would have chosen other ones to continue... (looking a bit like a pre-pack administation if other ex BMI routes follow)

highwideandugly 17th Feb 2019 17:26

Munich next?

I agree with both these comments - the NCL operation was pretty much a stand alone base, but is clearly valuable as it's been immediately replicated. Any expansion would be a whole new ball game.

NorthEasterner 17th Feb 2019 17:46

I've seen two start dates for new Loganair services, 11th March and 25th March. Wonder which is correct, hopefully the 11th to reduce as much impact possible.

11th March - https://www.itv.com/news/tyne-tees/2...r-by-loganair/
25th March - https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news...saved-15844234

Matt4 17th Feb 2019 17:53

The flights are now bookable on the Loganair website
NCL-BRU x 2 Mon-Thurs (0625 and 1705), x1 Fri, x1 Sun (Both evening dep) LM542 and 546
NCL-SVG x1 Mon-Fri and 1 x Sun (1310) LM504
All beginning on the 25th March

Same times as the BM which would make sense with the slots in BRU and the prices aren’t actually to bad

Id get the 'convenient' transition over first before worrying about expansion
#overstretched

SWBKCB 17th Feb 2019 17:57

The Loganair website says 25th March, but I'm assuming both the Chronicle and the ITV stories are cut and paste jobs from a local media press release, so maybe the ITV one is from a later version and things are moving fast...
