Given the ever increasing number of flights in the UK (and into Europe), could anyone tell me - or point me in the right direction - how many aircraft flybe operate and what types they are. I am aware of some of them (146s, Dash 8s) but their website doesn't provide fleet information (would be too easy).

Any assistance greatly appreciated.

Not quite! One CRJ (G-JECC) was delivered to Air Sahara. The other three remain at Exeter.

I was told last week that Air Sahara no longer require the remaining three. There is said to be a slight disagreement over who will pay for the aircraft painting! All of the CRJs having received Air Sahara's colours.

The CRJs are now a Bombardier/Sahara problem. Another one may or may not have left EXT this weekend;.

All the 200/300 D-8s will be part exchanged by next May to be replaced by a fleet of 21 Q400s with 20 options.
