David against Goliath
Scotland’s airline, Loganair (along with Flybe) has introduced increased seating capacity on Aberdeen routes and now Glasgow; undoubtedly a contributing factor being the mishandling of our lifeline ferry services by Serco. (Extra Glasgow flights; SN, 15/08/13)
I would urge travellers to make sure their family and friends use the Air Discount Scheme and book ahead for best prices. That way they will avoid “lounge-segregation” and expensive coffee, and obtain a one-class fits all journeys of an hour as opposed to twelve.
As long as HIAL doesn’t start charging for parking at Sumburgh, I see no reason for David not being able to increase profits, service and competition.
And leave the insidious Serco to run Scatsta, NorthLink and the tagging of offenders.
Yours faithfully
