FlyBe - 6

Exeter to Norwich

Another thread on this forum celebrates the introduction of flyBE flights between Exter and Norwich. Well done Norwich. It is indeed great to see cross-England flights introduced by serious regional airlines.

Why don't flyBE run an Exeter to Southend service? Essex's population is more than twice that of Norfolk, with three quarters of a million within SEN's immediate catchment - and a certain world city is within fifty minutes train journey too.

I know that flyBE have said that they won't fly from Exeter to London because of the rail link, but SEN isn't London and it does have a viable catchment of its own. Its new terminal, extended runway and improved landing aids should make it an attractive destination for flyBE on routes too thin for EZY.......
