Could someone explain the commercial logic behind Flybe launching Stansted-Newcastle ?
I'm struggling to figure out who will be prepared a big enough fare to make the route profitable, compared to the train or using BA to connect onwards via Heathrow.

I'm also wondering how this route will work given Flybe will operate a 78 seat Q400 against Easyjet previously operating a 150+ seat Airbus which presumably makes it harder to spread fixed costs across the passengers being carried..
