Would be interested to know their operating profit. I use Flybe every month on business and every flight is always full, predominently with business passengers.

Admittedly, very few buy anything onboard. But in my case, the price of the flight is largely immaterial. I simply need to go where I need to go and the use of car will need a hotel stayover and the train will need multiple stops / time. BHD is either Flybe or boat. In the main, the latter does not work for business travel. Hence, Flybe are the only operator on the routes I fly.

So they appear to have room to put up their prices in such instances to at least offset some areas of the business that are causing the losses. Like many others, I need Flybe to make a profit in order to provide a sustainable business which I depend on.
