It seems Loganair's expansion plans are centered around Glasgow East.

Genuine question. Do we have any LM routes from GLA outwith Scotland now? I know LM are planning NQY S25 from GLA, a once weekly flight at that I believe :?:

In recent years, Loganair has cut routes to Bergen, Düsseldorf, Birmingham, Exeter, Southampton, Southend, and Newquay (though Newquay is set to be re-launched). They also announced routes to Belfast, East Midlands, and Cardiff but never actually launched them. Their network changes have been nearly as unpredictable as easyJet's.

If it wasn't for the HQ being historically located here too the top brass would have no hesitation moving it east IMO. I also get the vibe a lot of the power within there is with people who come up from down south and see Loganair as a small company who are a stepping stone on the career ladder. They really don't understand this market and their knowledge comes across as amounting to just following the sheep. I think they've taken a step back as an airline since Jonathan Hinkles left. They were in a good position post Flybe and pandemic. I don't see them ever doing anything more than PSO type routes and the couple of Irish routes they do now at GLA, any growth will come along the M8. Infact they're so weak currently at GLA it wouldn't surprise me if EZY smell blood and kick them off the Derry route as well in time.

I didn't realise Exeter has been dropped.

Might see Easyjet bring back Southend to Scotland.

Like to see Cardiff back

I certainly think the new management and move to install a wide range of directors who seem to have backgrounds from the likes of Flybe as concerning.

Do LM base any ATRs at GLA. A daily/12 x weekly ATR42 would probably work I would think? The problem is the EZY flight to BRS. Could LM compete ?

GLA-CWL should be tailor made for a daily ATR around lunchtime. I used to fly the route a few times over various incarnations and there is clearly a demand. Here’s my brother coming up for the third time this year but he’s taking the train at £150 even though the easyJet from BRS was about half that. BRS is a pain to get to and he can do work all day on the train and step off the train and straight to Martin Stephenson and the Dainties with my sister and I. :P
