Both Aberdeen and Norwich are bases for the oil and gas industry (gas fields off the East Anglian coast), so I guess they will get some (though not all that much) high paying business traffic from that. Otherwise it is totally odd.

There are even oil rig training centres down there! This looks increasingly astute the more I look at it.
Now that bmi regional is moving the maintenance base for the ERJ's to ABZ, we might even get a bit of a hub developing. Is there anywhere else the average Scottish oil executive is going to want to travel to?

When will the LBA-CPH service start? My guess is that SK will codeshare on that one.
Will it only be one departure a day or several?</font>

Codesharing could actually happen! Wideroe and Braathens (both SK subsidiaries) fly 737's and DH4's from SVG (Stavanger - another well known oil destination) and BGO (Bergen - ditto) up to four times a day to ABZ, all with SK codeshares.
So, you could get them all to connect on to Norwich, all on SK coded tickets! I'm sure all the Statoil staff will be delighted!
Now we need to establish a secondary motive - don't all these places have a significant fishing industry (for the time being at least)?
By the way, I see that T3/Eastern are already codesharing from their NWI hub...
