This report that is linked also appeared in the local Bristol press today. It is a marvellous bit of creative marketing: new flights are announced that aren't really new at all and furthermore they represent a reduction of what went before.

In summer 2004 until the end of October Flybe flew from BRS to both Jersey and Bergerac on a daily basis - in fact I think Bergerac was reduced slightly in October.

These destinations then came off for the winter with Bergerac due to return for three rotations a week in February 2005 before going daily again next summer.

Jersey, however, will return in summer 2005 to a reduced schedule compared to summer 2004 - four rotations a week instead of daily.

How can all this be heralded as new services?

Whilst doing a bit of Google trawling I found this link re Flybe and Norwich Airport.

Paris, Dublin, Exeter. Aberdeen, Geneva and Chambery appear to be on the horizon for next winter from Norwich, followed by the Malagas, Alicantes etc in summer 2006.
