Virgin
So Flybe lives on.
On a strategic basis orientating the airline to add value through feeding long haul services that Virgin has will be no.1 priority. Collaboration with AFKL will be big, given their influence. Then Stobart's desires. Then a pruned back network focussing on the top performing routes.
Given Stobart's success with Aer Lingus Regional model and now the placement of Embraer for BACF, will the future shape and size of the new Flybe include a large focus on ACMI?
Substantial changes to the operations at airports like SOU, BHD and NQY would inevitably have huge implications for those airports.
