x-in-man Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Wonder what ‘Turkeyland’-ed a drone as soon as airport security ‘track’’-ed them down. Maybe? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0bserver Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 (edited) Loganair is up for sale. Somebody check on Dr Allinson and Alf. Also lock away the Government chequebook while we're at it. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/loganair-goes-up-for-sale-as-bond-brothers-bow-out-5mgz8hwvk Edited October 9, 2022 by 0bserver 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won’t go for much, but whatever it goes for is unlikely to be as much as States of Guernsey have sunk into Aurigny since they nationalised/bought it.

NoTailT Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Loganair has been for sale for the past 5 years. Bond brothers warned Hinkles 12 months ago that they wouldn't be throwing any more money at it. Problem for Loganair is the ageing fleet, owned by a separate Bond Brothers entity on silly leases (the E135/145's). Eastern Airways also up for sale. Lots of opportunity for Hooper and Allinson to waste our taxpayers dosh!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asitis Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Nothing to do with these sales, but I firmly believe there was a case for some limited ownership in respect of our most popular routes. It would just mean taking ownership of those and ridding those routes of open skies malarkey. I am not suggesting running an airline, as I'm well aware we can't run a bath, but rather than throw money at empty seats, empty because of cheaper competitors for the limited passenger numbers, there has to be a better way. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holte End Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 When I first heard a drone had shut the Airport, I thought Mrs Glover must had told Tim to close the Airport. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't heard a peep on that in donkeys, seems all parties involved are going about their normal business from what I can see. Must've died a death, or might be like Paul Bell's world where it drags on for 8yrs because the cops haven't a clue.
