We have just learnt Flybe of Birmingham in the UK has collapsed. Affiliated with Cyrus Partners a hedge fund in the US Flybe operated a fleet of 8 all economy aircraft and carried approx. 2,500 pax per day. With 2 hubs, 22 routes and 16 destinations the similarities between Bonza and Flybe are frightening.

You are wrong
JQ couldn't make it in NZ with Q300s either
Again, have a close look at Flair if you want to compare AB with any other operator
