I can't see Flybe wanting Baby or the ageing 737's that come with it, BMI Regional however is a different matter altogether and that route network could be very attractive for Flybe with very little overlap.
An undisclosed European airline ordered Q400's (10 firm + 10 options) on 23rd October with Bombardier stating that it was for a new customer who doesn't already operate the type. Could this be an order from BMI Regional????
It'll be an interesting year ahead in European aviation!
