BE have dropped LBA-SOU was removed from the timetable a couple of weeks ago.
T3 will continue to operate flights from SOU to LBA. They will increase the frequency on the route from 14th September with weekday flights operating up to 4 x daily

SOU-GCI is not being dropped as was expected, instead it is going up to 2 a day, fingers crossed they can get the pax figures up again & get back to being the dominant carrier on the route.

I wish Flybe well on the Guernsey-Southampton route. Nice to see them increasing services. Times look reasonably good with good opportunities to connect from Guernsey to other destinations.

All ATR 72-600s are for EIR, and SEN needs an ATR 72. Stobart only have 2 ATR 72-500s so surely one of the 3 (1x SEN, 2x IOM) will HAVE to be an ATR 72-200.

No, I'm not saying the one AT75 based at SEN (there are not two based there any more following the closure of the MST route in the Spring) will go to IOM but some observers of the SEN scene feel a little uneasy at the moment.

Ah yes, sorry. I was under the impression that 2 ATR 72s were going to the Isle of Man. If this is correct, Flybe will need 3 unless the SEN flights are terminated. EI-REL and EI-REM will likely go to the Isle of Man with SEN getting a -200 or being cancelled all together I imagine.

An article on Manx Radio's website presumably from a FlyBe/Stobart Air press release says the 2 72 seat ATRs will be "FlyBe branded". That suggests FlyBe livery as apart from crew uniform, magazine and menu cards there's not much else "branded" on a FlyBe aircraft. See here:

Would it not be logical to put the two 72-500s (already in full Flybe colours) into IOM starting October and stick one of the 42s into SEN, at least for the winter season?
