I have flown from MAN to NQY return once a year for the last three years on business with BE. Not one of the six flights has been on time. This week the MAN - NQY sector (both yesterday and today) were delayed because the equipment arrived late from AMS. If this is a regular occurance, then acknowlege it in the timetable. No point getting to the airport in good time only to find you are sitting in a stupidly busy and cramped Terminal 3 at MAN or a shed like NQY with nothing to do.
It is a pity there is no choice on this route and that driving is too long. At least the Q400 are perfectly adequate for the length of route. The difference in time between the E-series and the Q400 cannot be more than five minutes.
