S19 schedule should come out sometime December.

I think cph and bru could be a mistake given the sheer volume of frequency, capacity and ultra low fares available on these routes from EDI - you can get edi-cph on Fr for £26 rtn and edi-bru on SN for as little as £64 rtn on many dates over the coming winter! A LOG e145 operation will surely require fares of £150-200+ and I'm skeptical whether they'll be able to get enough pax willing to pay such fares at GLA in the face of what's available at EDI only 40 miles down the M8. I think many pax traveling to these destinations could just ignore a LOG service due to fare difference and fly from EDI instead.

Imo they'd be better going for routes that are not currently served (or only lightly served) from the central belt such as BGO, SVG, OSL, HAJ, LUX, ZRH, BIO. These are much thinner in terms of pax numbers, but due to the lack of competition or direct alternatives I suspect they'd be better able to command the kind of higher fares such an operation would likely require.

I really hope LOG have done their homework very dilligently on this, as a poor choice of routes could be a real mess.

I strongly agree. EDI-LUX/ZRH could be good routes. Maybe GLA-OSL/DUS (if EW are leaving that route). Can't see any value in them attempting the likes of BRU and CPH given the competition, as you say. Shouldn't be trying to rely on codeshares and connections to hub routes either. It might increase demand, but it will just dilute the yields. Needs to be p2p routes that can generate good O&D demand even with high fares in order to create good margins on these ERJs IMO...

G-SAJB was officially re-registered and transferred to Loganair today, according to G-INFO. It is currently at Inverness awaiting the take over services from the leased BMI a/c, whilst G-SAJC will do Glasgow S2000 routes when it arrives.

Why G-SAJ* in particular?
Someone's initals?

Scotland's Airline Jet?
Presumably, the first ATR42 that comes in "late 2019" will be something like:
G-SATA (T for Turboprop)
G-SAPA (P for Prop)

Why is the leased BMI 145 at INV still doing half the flights? Why can't the 135 take over completely?

Just read this article online. The article states that LM plan to add 4 ex BM jets in the next year and that they will be based at GLA & NWI. So looks like the days of LM operating the day D328 are numbered.

A concern with Loganair is that their future jet fleet comprises of aged airframes that have excessive fuel burn per seat. This will become very unhealthy for them soon, once their hedges have run out.

Starting European routes in expectation that Scotland will leave the European Union is also not risk free.

The ERJs aren't just for expansion, they are also replacing S2000s and D328s. It's been mentioned that the considerably cheaper parts and maintenance, and the higher reliability of the ERJ compensates for the higher fuel burn compared to the Saab 2000 and D328 that they will be replacing on routes that don't require short field performance ( this is where at least one brand new ATR 42-600S will come in Q3 2019 ) in order to phase out the S2000 when they go off lease in 2020.

Jota flew Avro RJ85 G-JOTR for Loganair for a few days in mid-October. Was this covering for an aircraft in maintenance?

Loganair starting City of Derry Airport LDY - Glasgow GLA this coming Sunday 28th Oct and it is sold out and so is the return the following Sunday 4th Nov.

If/when LOGANAIR start flights from SEN could they pick up the GLASGOW flights that have been stopped by STOBART/FLYBE or would costs make it a non starter
