Heard the same yesterday. Idiots. Flybe wanted to do LHR as they have some slots to use, Loganair had option on slots but was also looking at Stansted apparently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 How can we fail to successfully negotiate this absolutely essential London service ? Was it airport management, DOI hierarchy or treasury (not) doing the business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incompetent. The lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nom de plume Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 The issue always seems to be someone failing to have the conviction to actually make a decision. Any decision. It’s why nothing ever gets done. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spake is a reality TV person who knows as much about running an airport as my dog ! If Cannan wants to start somewhere at sorting out the utter dross, the airport is the place to start ! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't Spake merely a deputy? Have you ever met Jez? When he isn't burning Ukranian flags in his office, he's impossible to manage. 'Deputy' is a problem. His personality always has to be the biggest in the room. He walks around with his Airbus A350 lanyard on, reminding everyone he apparently owns his own Airbus A320. The guy is a maniac, so caught up in his own twisted version of reality. I feel sorry for any permanent director replacement that has to keep him around. It needs one seriously strong personality to put him in his box. HE always knows best and its idiots like Skelly, Lewin and Cannan from the last Gov that let him piss away so much cash and destroy relationships with most of the airlines apart from bloody Loganair.

Probably because they wanted massive subsidies like before which can’t be justified for numbers using route 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoTailT Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) In more positive news, easyjet Manchester going to daily from 5 weekly. Easyjet the other day had 139 inbound from Manchester. Loganair at similar time, 26 inbound. I hope easyjet keep this up. Edited February 17, 2022 by NoTailT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new summer schedule shows Loganair flying to Manchester 4 times a day if they get driven out it will end up with two Easyjets at best at random times. This is exactly what has happened to London don't you recognise any value in frequency of service? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Logan air need to reduce prices to get more volume, same on Liverpool route 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
