Flybe to Bergen Discontinued?

Flybe to Bergen Discontinued?

Bergen Withdrawn
Just had an e-mail from Flybe asking me to ring a "premium rate" number to hear that our flights to Bergen in August have been cancelled due to the service being withdrawn. Eight of us had confirmed reservations and we where to attend a family wedding in Voss. There is of course the option of going KLM via Amsterdam at about twice the price but that would hurt !!. Arrrgh.
It seems Flybe are pulling their Newcastle Bergen service from end of March. Booking tool doesn't allow bookings after March. Mike Tee reports he has been advised his flights later in the year have been cancelled, and he should make alternative arrangements. Wonder if another operator will take on this route.
Looking at 95/96 Winter schedule from Newcastle Airport, Braathens operated a Daily (except Sat) Boeing 737 service to Bergen via Stavanger (Flight no. BU574) as well as a seperate Oslo (BU568) service. These operated Mon-Friday and Sunday. (BU578 BGO via SVG and BU564 Oslo) Braathens is now SAS Norway.
