Well I am pretty sure Manx2 would not have done it - well they may have but I cannot imagine that the hospital patients would have been able to have travelled. They cannot be that roomy inside the aircraft for a start....
There may well have been other operators interested but not prepared or able to operate without any gap between EMX demise and the start of their operations. Flybe were able to just plod along as normal.
I feel that we are moving off topic now. The point I am trying to make is that it is not Flybe do ultimately make the decision on how successful a route is it is the paying public. Newquay should be grateful for as many operators they can get even if it is for a small period of time as it will raise thier own profile. If people want Flybe to stay around at NQY and keep their routes going then for goodness sake use them.
