Preveza, Chania & Kefalonia

All now bookable on one site for 2012 with Monarch flight numbers.

PVK & EFL are on a Sunday requiring a 5th aircraft or a reduction in
the ZB schedules on that day.

I realise it is early days and things change but a hopeful sign.

Most of the destinations listed are proven markets in terms of pax but
unfortunately have not worked out yield wise. I suppose flybe would have
looked at who last operated these routes such as ARN, OSL, HEL, TXL (Duo) and it would not fill me with confidence. Although that was a long time ago and things have changed.

However baby managed volumes on MAD, Norwegian on Warsaw and Ryanair on NYO (for a while) so I am sure some will reappear in time.

You would think some of the routes would be ideal for the 175 (assuming
they turn up) but you do get the impression flybe are looking elsewhere at the moment.
