Eastern have no flights shown on the LBA Depature/arrivals board for tomorrow morning. Also appear to be bringing a number of aircraft to LBA from Aberdeen this evening. Is something wrong?

Yup, that would fit in with T3 operating a skeleton scheduled service over Xmas/New Year!
They better NOT be in any trouble, they are the No.1 operator at ABZ!
Basically they fly when the oil industry/businessman wants to fly & don’t when they don’t.
That’s one reason why they hardly fly any scheduled routes on a Sat.
Did you know the first 7 arrivals at ABZ between 0730 & 0810 M-F are all T3?
560 (Wick), 580 (DTV), 4030 (Newcastle), 722 (Norwich), 225 (NEMA or whatever they are these days!), 4711 (Leeds) & 750 (Humberside).
Yet on a Sat, they only have the one JS41 that routes NCL-ABZ-BRS-ABZ-NCL.

Hadn’t realised that they stopped so early for Christmas. According to their booking engine early morning departures from LBA do not return until 8th January!!

Would say:
i. Fog, as a number of T3 flights have been affected;
ii. T3 probably also winding down for Xmas/New Year. They always operate a skeleton service over holiday periods.
Given their fares & target market, I would be shocked indeed if T3 were in any trouble.
