hmmmmm FlyBe announce routes nearly daily but whether or not they decided to fly them remains to be seen .
Referring to an earlier post on Pprune FlyBe's MD who was offering assistance to FR's Michael O'Leary on how to run a LoCo- what a joke ! . The only reason for the profit was made was because of the sale of the LHR slots and no other . Load factors on all FlyBe's network has annually decreased , was this meant to be a joke ? - FlyBe can hardly call itself a LoCo anyway !
I doubt very much whether the NCL route will be profitable. Despite the lack of competition in the Exeter area, the Air Wales service from PLH-NCL twice daily has been running for nearly a year now and must have a large group of loyal customers however since flying with them a number of times up north it appears that Air Wales themselves have some low load factors ( ie due to the CWL touchdown ).
I give it 6 months !
Cheers
