BHX

airnoc

Without saying never but I think the chances of a flybe jet on BHX-NOC is very unlikely.

The 175 only holds ten more seats than the Q400 and the schedule is maxed out during the winter for the three based aircraft.

As for the 195, it appears the BHX base is going down to one operational on the Air France code-share Paris. There will be still plenty visiting from EDI & GLA but they are on straight turnarounds.

This means either one of the four new 175's or more than likely if it happens the same Q400 that sits on the ground the Waterford doesn't operate (Tue, Thu, Sat) or a major revamp of the schedule, which is only weeks away making it unlikely.

Monarch - well..........it would be well outside their comfort zone with the likes of Munich, Milan gone (fingers burnt), Bordeaux (with no competition) operating barely half full, it would take some arm-twisting especially when thus far they have ignored easier city targets from BHX such as Prague and Lisbon.
