Flybe - Teething Problems?
Flying
Flybe from
MAN to Belfast City. Last two weeks have been operated by
VLM (The VLM flight to Rotterdam being shown as Cancelled)
Additionally the 16.10 Glasgow flight from Belfast City last Friday was delayed by 5 hours ( and its only a scheduled 45 minute flight
)
Delays seem to be continuing, checking the Belfast City departures.
So whats the problem? Teething problems after taking over the BA business?, Not enough pilots?, Not enough engineers?
I can fly either by MAN (BMI) or Liverpool (EasyJet) to Belfast International instead, for a comparable cost after allowing for the taxi to Belfast City centre.
So are the problems temporary at FLYBE or shall I switch to fly into International
Feedback, comment welcomed.""
I would recommend that you change to Bfs, where BMIBaby offer a much more reliable service from Man. I would imagine that WW will be all out to keep service levels up and damage BE even more. Looking at the CAA stats, WW has seen hugh growth on this route. EZY is also very reliable from Lpl. Bfs also has the advantage of having no restrictions. Bhd has restrictions, which were in the public domain before the likes of BE decided to have a major expansion there. I know this will not generally effect you if you are usually starting from Man, but is worth knowing. I use Bhd only as an absolute last resort, for a number of reasons, higher charges being one.
