Looks like the new owners of Flybe have decided the Heathrow slot will be better served by Virgin Atlantic? Moving the flight to Southend doesn't help people looking to get on to onwards international flights.
That was always the case & was pointed out in this forum before BEE started the Heathrow to Guernsey route last year. BEE were only ever "slot sitting" for DAL/VIR - until such time as they found a better use for it. It was also pointed out to the States of Guernsey, who were also well aware of the reality; but chose to publicise the route as something of a coup for them. That's politics; you can fool some of the people all of the time etc. Seems that the Southend service may not be all that it is cracked up to be, either.
