Flybe set for further ABZ expansion

Following on from the DHC8-400s/EMB195s announcements,local press report that Flybe are expected to confirm an expansion of its presence at ABZ.

The announcement,expected "in the closing days of this month"is expected to announce new flights to destinations "in the Midlands and South of England".These are believed to be BHX & SOU.Also,NCL flights are also expected to be confirmed.

Report also says Flybe evaluating international flights at ABZ,but only once final EMB195s are delivered in 2008.No mention of Scandinavia,but a destination in Portugal & a ski resort destination are rumoured(early days of course!!).

Also no confirmation of ABZ being an actual base,but does look like,as expected,Eastern are in Flybe's sights.

Anyone know how both are doing on the ABZ-Belfast runs?

Hopefully the announcement will help stimulate the market,when it comes.
