Good news indeed and kudos to Loganair!

Yep you have to give credit to them they are stepping up to the plate!

Looks like EXT-NCL will have an ABZ tag one it.

I've been looking at prices for the Loganair services from Exeter as in the future i'm going to want to get my channel back up and running and i've noticed that the prices don't seem to be cheap. The fares seem to start at £85 one way from Exeter and flights to Exeter from £75. Not cheap that's for sure! Maybe i'll look at Ryanair!

Loganair's first flight today from EDI to EXT and return with one of their Embraer ERJ aircraft G-SAJG.

Hope this service works out well for both Loganair and EXT.

Thanks Jerry for posting.
Interesting to note, if the twitter message is to be believed, on Mondays and Wednesdays the GLA based aircraft is booked to sit at EXT for nearly five hours! Surely that can't be correct....

The aircraft does the Edinburgh flight on those day's.

This was originally announced last March albeit the coronavirus no doubt became an obstacle for this year.

Not at all airports!
Will be interesting to see what sort of LFs they're getting. I know it's not the full story but it will be interesting to see.

Had a quick look at Loganair Edinburgh and Glasgow route stats for August.
Edinburgh saw 842 passengers and Glasgow 554. I'm not 100% sure on the weekly frequency of each route but if Edinburgh was 5 or 6 weekly that gives an average passenger load of between 15 and 18 and if Glasgow was 4 or 5 weekly it would be 12 to 15 passengers per flight.

I looked at that as well but, like you, I wasn't sure how many flights operated in August. If your suggestion is the maximum then anything less will obviously give a higher load factor. As it is, given the circumstances, the loads you quote aren't at all bad. Whether they make the airline any money is a different matter of course but that's the name of the game at the moment across the industry.

Looking at their website it doesn't look like Glasgow is operating at the moment so maybe it's loads weren't good enough but Edinburghs is. I know there isn't a way to know but it would be interesting to know what Loganair's break even load is on the E145.

EXT to EDI is currently five times per week and EXT-GLA is supposed to be starting in March 2021.
