Anyone got further insight as to what is going on with Flybe at BHD ?
Seems to be 2 steps forward, 1 step back.
They announced the new Manchester route and the following day announced they were quitting the Norwich route. Liverpool is down to 2 a day and Bristol & Newcastle are now down to 1 day.
Are they struggling with loads ? I thought Liverpool was going well - surely handling can't be the only reason ? Or are EZY hammering them with their prices from BFS?

A perfect demonstration of the vast over capacity there is on some routes out of BFS & BHD. When BE start MAN in January, there will be three carriers battling for custom on this route, BE/BA from BHD & WW from BFS.
Even allowing for the distinct possibility of a BA withdrawal, is there really a demand for two low cost airlines on this route?
As far as LPL is concerned, the reduction may be simply down to a shortage of aircraft to operate the MAN.

When I used to work in the travel industry
Manchester to Belfast was behind London our best seller with 10-15 pax per day on the route most of the year mainly with BA
I think most would be willing to transfer to FlyBe as the flight is to BHD which is near most of our offices out in Belfast therefore
at a guess I would say BA/Citiexpress is going to be the big loser

That is because the company I worked for is a Manchester company with a very strong Northern Ireland presence
And yes I know BA fly to BHD and so will Flybe and as I said before they will wipe the floor with Citiexpress and BMI Baby is a different market

I noticed the article is inaccurate. Its not the first scheduled service from Ireland to Tenerife. Aer Lingus are launching a scheduled service from Cork to Tenerife this July.
