[QUOTE=runway14141414]Also from ABTN:
FLYBE, lead carrier for the Embraer-195, has confirmed an October
introduction for the aircraft. The first two ‘planes will be based at
Birmingham, followed a month later by one for Exeter and by year end
an aircraft based at Southampton. The Embraer-195 has 118 seats as
opposed to 112 on the BAe 146-300 that it replaces. The modern twin
should prove to be far more economical to operate than the no longer
produced former Hatfield product. However JetBlue is reporting
problems with the introduction of the similar EMB 190 although these
should be resolved by the time that the aircraft is introduced at the
start of the winter season. FlyBe should have 14 of the Brazilian
aircraft in service by the end of 2007.
Hopefully they will turn up pretty regularly on the BHX-BHD-LGW run!
