An easy one.

Of course when one door closes another will open for Loganair.

Do we know if this will be operated by Easyjet themselves or will it be an extension of the Worldwide by Easyjet with Easyjet selling seats on the Loganair flights?

Possibly too short. Their usual benchmark is that the surface travel time has to be at least 4 hours to make flying an attractive option. Aberdeen clearly fits that bill, GLA not so much,

I suspect the numbers aren't there, especially with the train every 2 hours. Perhaps LM could look at it on the ATR

If I were loganair as you say Clive, leave eastern to battle it out with EasyJet. There will be other opportunities and with the shape of the industry to come over the next few years, they hardly need a battle like this to contend with.

Eastern don't currently compete with Easyjet on any routes. After Flybe's collapse, Eastern announced ABZ-BHX, MAN-SOU (and NCL-SOU) but not ABZ-MAN.
