With Flybe today signing a wet lease agreement with Stobart to supply 2 E195's, can we assume that these will be made up from G-FBEL/M/N which in any case were due to leave the Flybe fleet in Q3 '17? Apologises as a little confused

Just checked Flybe's website.. from DSA, AGP and FAO have no available flights after October.

ALC, AMS, etc. are showing as bookable thru February 2018.

This indicates to me the axing of the routes; whether it's permanent or seasonal is another question. It could also reflect a possible redeployment of at least a single E195 away from DSA to another base.

So has the 195 currently at SEN come from replacing a 195 at DSA with a 175?

There will only be 1x based E175 at DSA for the winter 2017/18 season.

At a wild guess, they'll fix it or position something else in to operate? They've got a few, and other a/c in the fleet that they can sub in.

Not sure why it would be different from any other airliner?

There has been talk that for the leaner routes they are going t lease Easterns Saab2000's. Some Flybe to be trained on them with a mix of Eastern crew.

Cheaper apparently.

Presumably you don't mean the codeshares with Air France via CDG? They've been available on the Flybe website for a while.

You're a little late with that news! That was in the winter release in mid April!

Other than the Doncaster to Palma route (which was announced a couple months back or so) non of these are really new routes and as previously mentioned, they are Flybe codeshare flights via CDG with Air France. I believe Nice has however recently replaced the previous option of Madrid as a through booking service.

Ideally DSA needs to be an option on the Air France / KLM websites. However at the moment the best way would be to use the Flybe one stop to the world site.

Depending on the fare that might work on Dash. It wouldn't (and didn't for Virgin) work on an A320.

Good service but a wee bit ponderous. Seemed to take forever.

Probably took you 20-30 minutes longer but quite literally saved a ton of fuel

LBA will be pushing for this airline to continue DUS - post Jet2 (and that's an understatement) in my opinion.
