Everything after May 10th showing as “sold out” so probably true. I await comments from all those posters who happily proclaimed that there was plenty room for LM and EZY on SOUGLA.

But how do you define “underserved”? Just because the route generated more passengers when sub economic fares were offered doesn’t mean it’s now underserved.

I’m not sure you meant it but your post reads as if you believe that any route that is profitable must be being underserved.

The trouble is, if you were the Loganair CEO would you be keen to launch SOUMAN given that EZY has previously jumped on them at MAN (NQY and others) and at SOU (GLA obviously)?

As I pointed out in a post above, the idea of EZY providing a decent twice daily schedule SOUGLA is a pipe dream. Look at their BHX Scotland schedules or even LGWGLA on a winter Thursday or Friday.
