Flybe to scrap Spanish flights from Birmingham Airport
21.12.06
Regional budget airline Flybe is set to axe all its flights from Birmingham Airport to Spain in early January, flightmapping.com reports. The airline will cancel its flights Alicante and Malaga on January 7 and 8 respectively.
The airline is pulling out of a heavily saturated market, where they face competition from airlines including BmiBaby, Monarch Scheduled and Thomsonfly, as well as traditional charter operators. There has been no comment from Flybe over the future of flights from Birmingham to Madrid and Barcelona currently operated by BA Connect. Flybe is due to take over BA Connect early next year.
