With the one day ones, I've always thought there's so much risk (in terms of enjoyment) placed on one day, even if the kids might love it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up going from Manchester when I went over (I'm also based in Edinburgh), but I just checked and realised that was in 2014 so hardly relevant. Going to Tallinn & getting the ferry across is always an option, too. Another great city. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went there with KLM from Glasgow and spent a couple of days in Amsterdam as part of the trip.

welshbairn Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Easyjet have started competing with Loganair on their Inverness to Manchester route, up until October then starting again in March. They're seriously undercutting Loganair, flew down to Man and back recently and the planes were nearly empty, I'd booked before Easyjet started poaching. I hope Loganair doesn't go down the pan, they fly routes the big boys don't bother with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in Denny Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Loganair are a resilient bunch having seen off Flybe and Eastern over the years... They'll just re-arrange things.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Capital Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I see the reborn Flybe have scrapped hundreds of planned routes including Inverness to Belfast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it could be due to a shortage of planes to lease at the moment as loads of them are stranded in Russia and unserviced. Loganair already fly that route anyway, I wish airlines would be more imaginative in their destinations from Inverness.

Can't see it happening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flew with Logan to Bergen not too long ago, bringing that back and maybe Oslo and Reykjavik would be nice. They have some occasional charters to Northern Iceland and Mallorca, previously the Italian lakes, more of that please. They also did Switzerland but very expensively, aimed at the Swiss coming to see Nessie. Edited August 4, 2022 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Capital Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 There used to be flights to Düsseldorf from Inverness a few years back (with Eurowings I think). The Bergen flight was good but I take it it didn’t have the numbers to be sustainable. As I recall the Edelweiss flights to Zurich were astronomical. Would be good if there was something a bit more into the continent. I used to wonder if flights to Poland would’ve worked but I guess the chance for that has passed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easyjet have started poaching passengers on some of its more profitable routes, maybe that was part of the reason the owners decided to sell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking a management buyout? better suited than these vulture companies who come and asset strip.

A quick google tells me they were the Bonds who ran most of the North Sea helicopters from the 70s onwards so they're probably seriously loaded and thinking about retirement. Hopefully a management buyout with the backing of investors looking for a modest but reliable dividend would satisfy them rather than the highest bidding asset stripper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, like yourself thinking management buyout... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
