Loganair to Belfast City

[Saabdriver]

Quite a lot of interesting adventures in the last couple of weeks - E145s in Gerona, Perpignan and Bilbao, the ATR72 off in Germany and an Embraer going transatlantic in the next few days too - think it's G-SAJK off on tour.

Embraer has a maintenance facility in Nashville but the post said something about a tour so doesnt sound like that. Anyway there are MX facilities in Europe for 135/145 - Portugal and Poland have official sites.

Maybe perhaps tourist scotland doing a tour ... but seems daft during a pandemic

It's off for maintenance in Bangor Maine. It's away on the first leg to Keflavik now, then across to Greenland and Goose Bay tomorrow before arriving into Bangor on Saturday.

Ad-hoc charter operation bringing a football team across. Returns tomorrow night.

Glentoran over to play Motherwell FC in tonight's Europa League fixture.

Hell of a jaunt for maintenance but certainly advertising the loganair colours haha.

On another topic surrounding Loganair, their days at Isle of Man seem be slowly dwindling. The IOM gov seem keen to work with Aurigny to have a base at the airport and seems EasyJet is bring competition on the Manchester route aswell. Whilst the London city route which they ave taken on themselves is only running till October atm.

I wouldn't write off IOM by any means. There are a lot of people making a lot of noise, but those closer to the action are keeping silent for good reason. There's been no statement from Loganair, by the way.

ATR 72 aircraft seem to be finally getting a loganair look for anyone interested.
