While a lot of people are guessing which airlines Flybe hope to be taking over, could it work if they took over Eurowings which would not only work into some of Flybe's bases but would also give them a foot in the door of Germany.
Would any of these airlines work as a takeover target of Flybe?:
Finncomm-Finland despite Finnair taking 20% and dropping alleged agreement with Flybe
Luxair-Regional connections into Luxembourg could work and Luxair operate the Q400
Tyrolean-despite being owned by Austrian, could this work as they operate similiar-sized aircraft.Would be good as base to connect from their current bases in the UK to the central-european and eastern-european markets
Carpatair-again similiar-size aircraft despite carpatair operating Saab 2000's.Would open up Central and Southern European markets
Cimber Sterling-has been mentioned and seems a very logical and sensible target!!would be beneficial for many reasons, including openings for the Northern Markets, which could eventually come back and bite Finnair on the arse!!
FlyBaboo-Same Aircraft,Hubs and Valued-Slots in Switzerland,and would be a good supplement to the current network.
Others that could work: Adria Airways
KlM Cityhopper
Britair
Regional
Darwin Airlines
Blue 1
et finallement City Airline Sweden
open to debate!but probably none of these airlines will actually be said targets!!
peace to all
