if you're on an AF codeshare, that's effectively AF, so they are competing to some extent (but also to some extent complementary as on some routes it might be more conventinet to fly out AF and back KL.
however, looking at the a/c size and number of flights, AMS is probably at the bottom end of viability. If AF start nicking transit pax of KL, could end up cannabilising the route.
All depends on how big the market is - and to some extent they will be complementary as on some routes it might be more convient to fly out AF and back KL.
Eastern provide four aircraft under the Flybe brand
The deal will see Eastern Airways fly routes previously flown in a franchise agreement with Loganair, namely Aberdeen-Sumburgh, Glasgow-Sumburgh, Edinburgh-Sumburgh, Glasgow-Manchester, Aberdeen-Kirkwall, and Glasgow-Stornoway.
In addition, Eastern will also fly routes between Aberdeen, Norwich, Teesside, Newcastle, Southampton, Leeds, Cardiff and Paris from September 1.
Has anybody worked out the number of A/C needed for this lot - also, just to be a doom monger, aren't all the points in the final quote on the current Eastern network? Maybe it's just the existing flights becoming Flybe codeshares rather than being new routes from the UK to Paris?
