Is the Embraer-135 aircraft economical to run? It must surely have an astronomical cost per seat compared to ATR-72/Q400 given that it seems to weigh the same (MTOW) but has half the passenger capacity.
|
Operating costs will be higher but capital costs will be significantly lower :ok:

The Embraers are also quite a bit faster too, and start to become more cost effective the longer the flight is. LDY-STN probably isnt long enough to start seeing the benefits though, but as mentioned, the cost of ownership probably helps. |
bmi stops RLG-STR (Rostock - Stuttgart) due to "brexit" from beginning of January. Shortly they already reduced from 7/7 to 3/7. It is also not sure if they will fly the MUC-RLG route.

Why hasn't another ERJ (G-RJXF - I think) transferred to Loganair yet? Wasn't it mean't to be transferred in November?

Taking into account that Loganair and flybmi are in the same group, does it follow that we might see flybmi also taking on some ATR-42's?

With the EU stating that no U.K. airline can do intra Europe if a no deal brexit goes ahead it must be an extremely worrying time for AIL and fly bmi for their Munich base. |

Flybmi upping LDY-STN-LDY to 3 x Daily for next few days to give extra seats over Christmas period.
|
Airbus Shuttle
It looks like the Airbus staff shuttle is back with bmi. I hope they're not going to overstretch their fleet.
|
How is BM dealing with transferring the two ERJs to LM, are they reducing schedules or is there just less redundancy for AC going tech?

I heard somewhere they were looking at an Austrian AOC but obviously nothing has came to light as of yet.

Edit - The 17.30 LDY - STN with G-RJXC was cancelled but they've relocated G-RJXB to get the evening STN passengers home to LDY. |

bmi used to fly out of LBA, but I thought they only operated domestic flights. |

Interesting - I wonder which of the existing MUC routes this is going to replace.

They will need another airframe by the time the S19 schedule roles around for NWI Do BM own all 3 of the remaining ER3’s?. |
Looks like Flybmi have reduced the LDY-STN-LDY rotation to 1 a day instead of the normal 2 a day for a few days in January.
Started today the 9th and other dates are below. No doubt they have identified those as quiet days but regardless this was supposed to be a business friendly service and on those 4 days there is no chance of a day return. It appears to be only the evening flight running. I wonder how this fits in with the rules (if any) of the PSO obligation? 9th Wed 15th Tue 23th Wed 29th Tue |
No Scodaman. I do often wonder if you read relevant threads or postings! This has already been covered. However: as they ADDED flights prior to Christmas, they have to reduce flights post-Christmas to balance the numbers under PSO rules. |

I know that Stobart were up to three times daily on Kerry-Dublin, with one of the frequencies at their own commercial risk. Seems to be back to twice daily at the moment though. |
Question about BM’s Lease Agreements
Was wondering if anyone knows the answer to a couple of questions I have regarding the lease agreement BM have/had with Brussels Airlines, Eastern Airways and Nordica. Brussels Airlines A couple of months ago I posted that flights between BRS and BRU currently operated/marketed by BM and codeshared with SN and SN’s flights to HAJ, NTE and SXB operated by BM were showing as being operated by SN using a WX RJ85 in the S19 schedule. BM operated/marketed flights between BRU and NUE are now also showing as operated by SN using a WX RJ85 for S19. A couple of replies mentioned that the RJ85 could be being used as a place holder and could be updated in the future. With 10 weeks to go until the S19 schedule begins, could this still be the case? Eastern Airways BM have been operating flights between ABZ and NWI on behalf of T3/BE since mid February, with BE’s website stating that the flights are operated by BMI Regional on behalf of Eastern Airways. I just made a booking for late March and noticed that flights after 30MAR19 are showing as operated by Eastern Airways, with no mention of BM. Does anyone know if the current lease agreement is scheduled to end prior to S19?. Nordica BM had for a number of years and until recently operated a ER4 on behalf of Nordica. The last flight I can find that BM operated was back in mid December. Has this lease now ended?. |

Any news on the MANLDY service? Also, any substance to the rumour of 6/7 aircraft off to LM in the not too distant future?

Loganair... I heard it’s only another 2 more for the time being, one ER3 and one ER4 |
I don't know what to think about this, I've only heard this within the last few minutes from a friend...
https://aviationanalyst.co.uk/2019/0...t-to-collapse/ G-RJXE/XP and EMBN are all going to NWI as we speak. |

Looking at the Companies House records, there was a change of address of Loganair’s offices at Glasgow (which on the face of it isn’t unusual), but the accounts are overdue and the last recorded accounts from 2017 showed a loss.
