From the BBC
"
In addition, FlyBe is set for a role in the possible takeover of the BMI Regional division, based in Aberdeen.
Sources close to the negotiations have told BBC Scotland that the division, which flies more than 15 commuter jets between smaller city airports, is close to a sale by IAG to a consortium known as Granite Aviation.
But whereas it had planned to create a new Scottish airline, or to take over the BMI brand, it is understood the talks have shifted towards a plan that would see the new firm flying as part of the FlyBe network.
That would bring the advantage of FlyBe's marketing and ticketing arrangements, with links into the IAG network."
