It's shocking that none of flights can be books yet, what are they playing at?
Let's be realistic, Flybe have been trimming their fleet as a result of the economic downturn and I don't suppose they expected an opportunity like this to come up. Finding aircraft for October is going to be a little easier than suddenly having everything ready to go in six weeks.
I guess that unless you have a few Dash 8's kicking around in your back garden at competitive rates then it will take them a bit of time.
To ease things, they are at least letting people book the BHX flights with the opportunity to transfer these to EMA when flights are available.
