Indeed gentlemen, the Flybe services from Exeter to Glasgow & Edinburgh bring people IN to the southwest. They are, therefore, not dependant on a large local travelling public. The Newcastle service will be exactly the same so a once daily leisure service will do well. Surface transport from the southwest to Scotland and the north of England is painful!
The new Scottish services seem to be doing well. I rarely see less than 65 pax getting off the Q400s. OK, not enough to fill an orange '737 - but a good start methinks.
Other Flybe routes often mentioned in the local press for 2005 from Exeter include Paris, Amsterdam and Manchester.
