If anyone from Flybe is reading this , please Sir, could you start doing Exeter to Brussels?
Having read a little of your background in another thread, I value your views on matters like this.

The loads on the 3 x weekday, 2 x Sunday, BRS-BRU, SN Brussels ARJ 85s don't set the world alight - typically 4,000-6,000 a month, depending on season.

They seem to have been thus for a long time, so presumably the relatively high fares charged make the route worth doing.

However, with Belgium having limited popularity for people in the UK, would Flybe's strategy of low cost fares work on such a route, bearing in mind the likely number of punters?

I would have thought that AMS, even with their 'uneasyJet' charges, might be a better option from EXT.

Any thoughts?
