Flybe & EIR

insuindi

Thank you for the update, quite impressive the number of Airbus flights, in fact the half-term weekend 16/17/2 is now all Airbus.

See your point re Monarch Munich, it was definitely not twice a week in April when it was first released either.

Aberdeen in the summer has reverted to BHX based timings per the flybe website, the first leaving at 06.50, next 10.50, then 14.55 and finally 18.55.

I make that ten based flybe, plus the SN DH8D and no doubt the spare 195?

New night-stop additions include BM and EI Regional, nine Monarch which could make 40 night-stoppers if Olympic Holidays has an aircraft based although with the summer IT flights they are never all on the ground at the same time.

EI-A330-300

I agree with your reasoning behind the first out but I still have my doubts about at least one of the other two AT72 Dublin flights. Last summers figures I think were about 70-80% load factor depending on the month, which does not indicate a great need for extra seats unless they are spoiling for a fight.
