Anyone forsee a time when Loganair might acquire a couple of used A319's or such-like for routes like this ? JH was talking about "being appropriately tooled up" for certain routes when asked in that Anna Aero webinar the other day. I know that's not going to be top priority now, but say next year or a couple of years from now ?

I took that to be a reference to getting more ATR 72's on property in order to have better economics over the ATR 42 and the Embraers.

I don't see Loganair getting A319s or the like any time soon. In fact they would probably be better suited moving to an all ATR fleet.

Getting into larger jets would be a terrible move - head-on competition with easyJet and Ryanair for anything that is worth doing, but without the economies of scale that those airlines have.

Maybe of interest to hear of some of what's been happening:

I wonder if this is catching Loganair off guard (if it comes off) or if they were aware the competition could be coming.

Well aware from the outset of this possibility.

Is it mainline or Stobart (regional) though ? Didn't Stobart already announce a raft of BHD to UK services, with GLA excepted ?

On FR24 just now (Weds 1020) watching G-SAJF performing a flight listed as BFS-GLA, aircraft appears to be heading in the Dundee direction though and has in fact (as I write) disappeared from view near Perth. Is this a one off charter or something else ?
