With flybe shares at a near record low, I think stobart could be eyeing up Flybe. They could offer shareholders an offer they can't refuse and aquire a large airline for a good price.
They are slowly buying E195 up at a far cheaper price as to what flybe originally leased them at and with an again fleet of Dash8 could slowly replace them with the ATR, it's clearly served them well and with short routes the ATR and Dash flight time comparison is only marginal... Passengers would not notice any increase in flight time.
Also if they are looking to buy up Airlines could Blue Island be an option? Small airline and by combining operational resources could make the airline a good buy? Still operate current routes but move the small head office to Southend head quarters. A good buy when even looking at freight options
