As I mentioned a few posts back flybe have 67 aircraft at present per Jethro's and another 175 is due for BHX-STR/HAM from 1/6/2012.

Assuming that it arrives that will be 68 aircraft with a requirement of 60-62 per day (not sure of any further lease hand-backs). In theory that sounds fine but as others have mentioned there is planned maintenance to consider and possible crewing issues.

The spare 195 at BHX if used on the early morning Q400 flight to BHD (not showing as yet) will free up one more Dash. The only problem with that is that this same spare 195 is still virtually flying every weekday covering Q400 flights to Hanover/Stuttgart/Aberdeen etc.

I am sure that other options might come to light before 10 September.

It seems Aer Lingus Regional have pulled back from announcing BHX-NOC another route for flybe to consider?
