Also note they have /are suspending Flights from Heathrow to the Isle of Man as well.
Lots from Birmingham some slated for return in spring but we will see as well as the various peripheral stations .
Gotta get down to that 60 frame figure somehow pay the bills and turn the corner for the new investors
( THOSE NONE AIRLINE GUYS AT CYRUS WILL WANT THEIR CASH BACK WITH INTEREST RATHER QUICKLY )
Certainly not in it for the longer term if you ask me .
Flybe
This probably should be on the Flybe thread but the route structure of the "old" Flybe is already below 60 frames and could it be some early termination of leases otherwise a lot of aircraft sitting around.
I make it 55 departures on Monday morning and for winter after this latest cut, the requirement is for around 46 aircraft based on their own website and it will be 44 by the time the Isle of Man base reverts to the ATR. I might have missed one or two but as you say it is now happening fast.
Here ay BHX we are not holding our breath for the return of Milan, Lyon and Berlin in late February/early March although TUI are still selling Flybe Milan Wednesday and Saturday in summer.
