But they are massively risk-verse and hate competition.
Flybe have declared that they are looking to grow to 30+ aircraft by 2024 and become the UK/Europe's leading regional carrier and you can bet that there will be significant overlap and encroachment onto Logans current network.
It will be interesting to see if Logan stay and fight or run away.
flybe fell out with Loganair when they didn't re-sign as a franchisee and as a result intentionally tried to kill Loganair stone dead. That always felt like a bad business decision and a personal one, which cost flybe a fortune, harmed Loganar and added nothing new to the marketplace. flybe had attacked Loganair on their home turf, and flybe2 seem to think SOU/NQY/BHD are *their* home turf to be taken back. I think NQY-LHR may have been a good move, but the wider strategy is baffling.
