I heard yesterday that Blue Islands will operate 2 flights a day to Southampton, operated with Jetstreams. I don't think Flybe are going to be too bothered about this "competition". Jetsreams do not have the passenger appeal of a larger aircraft for a cross channel route. After all the rumours that have come from Blue Islands over the last few months re larger aircraft for this route this is a total let down for disgruntled Flybe passengers who were looking forward to switching carriers. I cannot see too many business men wanting to squeeze into the cramped Jetstream for a flight with no cabin service. As a regular traveller with Blue on inter island services I have noticed the ground staff have been struggling to cope of late How they will manage with extra flights I don't know, but wish them well.
