The rise in share price from 46p to 55p coincides with the public announcement of Saad Haamad as the new CEO of Flybe and Jim French moving to non executive chairman.
The day after the boardroom shakeup announcement in early August, the FT had a very positive article saying this new CEO appointment and reshuffle and the moving of "avuncular" (FT's choice of word, not mine) Jim French to another role would be a good thing.
Not sure what caused the sudden rise in share price in mid August though...
