It may not be connected but I think runway 21 /03 is now open, at least the notam has gone ! Maybe Callister will re contact the BBC with an updated opening date !

We have 90% of our pre covid/pre fail of Flybe Mk1 route network operational. Pretty poor pickings left. Even Aurigny aren’t doing a weekly trip!

Pre the Loganair LHR/LCY deal they had a shout of getting a similar sweet deal with GMT cash. They also don't seem to shy away from competition as 16 of their 23 new routes are already served by other airlines... whether that will be a wise move remains to be seen. It would be nice to see them back on Manchester and boot Loganair off the route. Edited March 22, 2022 by 0bserver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And given Mk2 hasn’t flown yet, how do you know? My experience of Mk1 and LoganAir is that they were/are equally dire. And between December ‘17 and March ‘20 I flew 120 sectors on Flybe and 10 on Logan. Just wondering if you’re both suffering from “grass greener” syndrome. I occasionally hanker for Manx Airlines, but it ain’t going to happen. And fares were astronomical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also good prices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
