You don't get it do you 380k is a whisker over a 1000 a day, factor in the summer charter traffic and outside that season it less than half that , far more people from the Exeter region end up going to BRS or Cardiff, just like the car loads that make the trek across the M62 to MAN from Leeds, all i'm saying is that with DSA opening up some of that market will be pulled from MAN & it won't do Leeds an favours.
As for FLYBE growing Exeter well time will tell if passengers really want to fly on turboprops however new and clever they are ( the aircraft not the pax!)
As for Humberside, a slow and painfull death awaits, still it'll make a great flying club.
Now FLYBE isn't that the outfit that order the CRJ and found that many of their senior guys couldn't handel the conversion so the got rid of the aircraft, not the guys that couldn't make the grade.
Then they ordered the RJX but Bae couldn't make it and sell it at a profit. So now its a mix of slow 146 & RJ's clogging the airways until they run out of puff the wrong side of 30k and quickish (for a prop) dash well the latest one any way.
Is this not the oufit that started LBA -LCY for about a fortnight, but kept it a secret.....yep they'll grow the Exeter movements positioning flights for servicing don't make anyone a lot of money
Light blue touch paper and stand well back....He He
