Longish article in yesterday's EDP, of local interst given the man's Air UK past.
This was the gist of it:
Flybe plans to float in 2006
UK low-cost airline Flybe is considering a £200 million ($354 million) stock market floatation in 2006.
The carrier, which flies out of Liverpool John Lennon Airport and is also based at Birmingham, Exeter and Belfast City, has appointed financial advisors Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein to examine its options.
It is thought to prefer a stock market listing over a private sale.
Jim French, chairman and chief executive of Flybe who owns a 9% stake, plans to appoint three or four independent directors to reform the firm's corporate governance in readiness for the float.
