Loganair

Interesting update on LM from the new CEO:

Recently published figures for Scottish tourism in general show a strong year for inbound visitors.

"We have increased frequency on Edinburgh-Southampton," he added. "The cruise ship market out of Southampton is especially buoyant.

"We're also looking at other regions of the UK which don't necessarily have that connectivity to the south coast or London.

"We believe Cardiff offers great opportunities. We fly Edinburgh to Cardiff, which is very popular and there is potential expansion there.

He said the north-east and south-west of the country were areas that could be more connected by air.

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 ?
