Not unexpected but as Summer 2009 shows two daily EDI & GLA and
BFS some days, Jan/Feb/Mar 2009 shows this frequency as well now.

The only difference and for business pax it is a major one, they have
retained the 2nd flights original schedule on GLA & EDI. Therefore
last departure from BHX is around 3.15-3.30pm.

Useless if you want a days business in either direction.

However the summer schedule does show 17.00 departures
from bhx for EDI/GLA/BFS which should help.

They could have changed the timings in January to help with a
day trip but unfortunately it problably would have meant altering
about 2/3rd's of their schedule which I suppose was never going
to happen.

flybe have also adjusted some of their mid Jan to mid Feb
schedules (as they have most years) but do add Q400's
on 22/1/09, 1/2/09 and 23/2/09 in place of 145's (Frankfurt,
Paris and Stuttgart gain capacity).
