Flybe to park 6 DH4's?
I can't believe that nobody has posted the revised basing plans from
nextgenerationairline.
I am stunned that BHX reduced to just two DH4's (plus a 195 & 7 x 145's)from originally four and in April it shows a total of 23 DH4's in service throughout the network, they currently have 29 delivered.
It increases by one a month until 31 are in service by December 2007.
Re BHX is this part spite & to send a shot across BHX management's bows for getting into bed with Baby. I know some of it is to do with their crewing problems but down to two DH8's is an absolute insult to BHX and the people of the West Midlands on top of the loss of Madrid, Barcelona, Berlin & Lyon - total disaster for BHX!
I know it is better than what Bristol has got from 25/3/07 but I just
cannot believe them. There was over capacity on some routes at BHX
but this is just surrender to BMI Baby.
Also their press releases are starting to make Ryanair's look tame -
BHX to Edinburgh and Glasgow was to be 10 a day, then another quoting nine a day for summer 2007 (Press release a few weeks ago) and what is currently in the timetable.....eight.
Sound commercial decision or part spite?
