Now I was actually thinking that myself Aviador. But as far as I understand Liverpool is not an aircraft base for Eastern Airways and they dont do any other routes out off Liverpool.
My guess is that the service that's been dropped is one of the of the rotations the aircraft will now operate direct between Aberdeen-Southampton instead without the stop off at Liverpool as the currently do now

It maybe also that they just is'nt demand for this type of business service out of Liverpool anymore?

[textarea]Eastern Airways pulls out of Liverpool Airport

Eastern Airways has pulled out of Liverpool Airport after axing Aberdeen and Southampton links it launched two years ago. Airport spokesman Robin Tudor said the route's demise is part of a general consolidation by airlines facing tough economic conditions.

The airline operated a total of 20 flights a week on the two routes. Mr Tudor said said he believes the Aberdeen route still has potential due to its links with the oil and gas industry, and could be picked up by another airline. However, flights to Aberdeen are operated from local rival Manchester.

It was never going to work only having once daily rotations on both Aberdeen and Southampton. I never understood why Eastern Airways didn't just pull the routes in the first place if they weren't working.
