Don't know much about them really.
FlyBaboo are an independent, based at Geneva, taking advantage to some extent of Swiss's partial withdrawl from there over recent years. They have been around for about 6 years. They are owned by a large travel agency, who they started off doing charters for.
They are the sort of carrier whose fleet strategy seems to change all the time, and whose destination list is always different from year to year. Now they are at LCY. Also, from this winter, they are operating to Oxford. There were jokes recently about Oxford Kidlington rebranding itself as a London airport and opening for commercial operations, and FlyBaboo are the first carrier I have noticed taking them up. It's not much of a service, just once a week on Saturdays to Geneva in December to April only, the ski season. Notably it's a Saturday afternoon operation, when London City is closed, I would guess they would rather have operated it to LCY, along with the rest of their new service, if they could.
