Ah right, thanks for clarifying re E175, I hadn't realised that. Does its range cover the planned ski and Northern Spain routes?
I wonder, will a Q400 put them at a disadvantage especially on the routes where they face competition with carriers who use jet aircraft?
I wish Flybe well with their LCY operation. I love the airport and am all for an expansion of routes & airlines, though can't help feeling it won't be easy for them to gain a real foothold.
