Talking about more aircraft & more routes from ABZ though.
I saw LCY suggested as they had slots at ABZ for this, but no announcement yet.
Yes, BLK was a disappointment, as they found only leisure travellers rather than oil workers used the route, but there have been questions on whether there was enough advertising of the route, especially in the Lancs area, as most oil workers didn’t apparently know of the route. They preferred using MAN instead.

Its not been bookable for some time on City Star’s website, the route was mainly targeted at oil and gas industry workers.
