The Q400 is a Solid reliable aircraft, for example ' Wideroe is almost exclusively based on all flavours , from the short field -100 to the latest Q400.
, Yes they have a few ' Ejets ', but there is a logic , clearly for Airlines to operate a single ' type '.
And I had read on here to my surprise, Q400's used from South English airports , as far south As Spain's ' Bucket and spade Coast'.
The E175 of course is listed in this year's Fleet digest at 88 seats.
The Q400 ten less , so a loss yes but not as bad as paying services altogether.
And now with a new team in control , things may flourish. For BE to survive, when bigger have fallen , and still are , is quite something
In what seems to be an ever reducing choice of Airlines .
Perhaps once they acheive a financial stability , perhaps they will add jets such as the Airbus A220..
In the meantime, we ought to be glad that Flybe live to fight another day!.
