Flybe capacity
IOMSpotter - Flybe have not grounded any planes this winter. They have taken out some middle of the day capacity which they confirmed as part of their results announcement (8 Sept). They can do that without major disturbance to routes because 84% of capacity is deployed on routes with a frequency of 2 or more a day- up to 9 a day I think. Thats unlike RYR for instance where 81% of their routes is on 1 a day or less. For RYR if capacity comes out, routes come out.
Flybe results announcement said they would grow by 6-8% this winter, 10-12% over the year. Numbers similair to those announced by EZY at todays analyst briefing.
