Loganair

[Gla1]

Was reading this article and obviously Johnathon can’t mention the airlines he’s flabbergasted by but it seems to me he’s saying EasyJet are actually the problem airline of the moment, flooding domestic capacity where it is not needed.

I thought he might be getting at WIzz Air but they have never really launched any flights that compete against Loganair. Whilst I think Ryanair is the one he suggested might be losing control? All speculation ofcourse but was just curious on all your thoughts.

Seems GLA to Donegal has been cut for Summer 2022 according to Seanm1997 on twitter.

They also seem to be pulling out of Jersey.

Lm pulling more routes ... shock horror

Saab possibly too big for the Carrickfin/Donegal route, perhaps more suited to Twin Otters.

Surely not with the large irish community from west of scotland ... saying that probably cheaper flying U2 from BFS .... LM seem lost in this world

Think back to when Malinair started the route. They operated up to 10 rotations a DAY with the Islanders, although the schedule was normally 1 per day. It was a case of just keep taking the bookings.

Perhaps Donegal could be taken over by that Swedish outfit on the F50 who are running the PSO to Dublin

Ekally's perpetual negativity back in force!

The overall LM S22 schedule is an increase at GLA - the 340 which flew to CFN is now doing extra SYY services in their place and LSI is going from 7 to 10 per week.

Aer Lingus Regional couldn't make CFN work on an ATR42 (even as Aer Lingus Regional) and given that's where the LM fleet is headed, if the passenger numbers won't grow to support the capacity then there is no long-term prospect. Given the history, which Ekally seems quite happy to ignore in a rush to be critical, you can see why.

There are apparently some more bits yet to come although not sure whether GLA will feature in that.

Not negativity at all ... LM have a recent history of starting and stopping routes even before covid , thats my point , easy to check and its all over its network , and BTW you dont know me , far from a negative person and I am aloud an opinion

[Ekally1]

They havent upset me ... they clearly have the wrong aircraft types for the routes they are doing .. evident to everyone

It’s a shame Loganair didn’t give Belfast City another bash when Stobart went under as the BA city flyer replacement is a bit poor in comparison.
