Hello,
I think BE is planning quite odd things for this winter season, amongs others, with regards to MJV routes.
When the winter timetable was released they directly cancelled EXT and NWI routes for the winter. I do understand their decision with regards to NWI,as it has been a new route this year and loads have been around 100 pax/flight and obviously in winter people do not travel as often as during summer months.
With regards to EXT, they started the route in NOV05 three times a week with 737, which is a bit too much for the winter and had to cancell some flights during jan and feb, but when they resumed the flights in April, with a 112 seater loads have been over 105 all the time. I did expected they would continue the route at least once a week from nov.
BHX and SOU had been left with tow and once weekly frequencies respectively. Bookings on the BHX route, as usual, had been going extremely well (some of their flights nearly full even two months in advance) and now suddenly they have totally pulled the route after two months of sales.
Does anybody know what the reason for that is?
Does anybody if they will resume the routes again in March or will BE definitely leave MJV, as they have got most their required slots at ALC?
Regards

Jersey will have the first oppertunity to see FLYBEs newest aircraft to the fleet the EMB195.
The aircraft is due into Jersey this Friday ETA 1515 local departing 1645 local so all concerned can see and understand the aircraft.
To name a few Handling
Fueling
Catering
Cleaning
Enginering
And last of all Air Traffic Control.
This visit is for operating requirements, the EMB195 will be visiting on an adhoc basis for some time before Jersey will have an aircraft based to replace the good old BAE146

I see Flybe have applied for a licence on the JER-GCI route, taking on Aurigny.
Perhaps Aurigny might be happy to not be the only operator on that route, as it knackers bigger aircraft due to the short sector times. How many SD3-60's have been worn out on that route?

They always used to operate JER-GCI but there were problems with the GCI transport board and the route was withdrawn with the hope of reinstating it in the future. They currently fly EXT-GCI-JER and its quite fun being on a dash for the GCI-JER sector, I flew at 2000ft and it gave a great view of both islands.

I was always worried about the winter service at twice a week especially
compared to the Monarch schedule.
The closure or suspension of the Murcia route suits flybe as it enables
them to reduce the BHX base by one aircraft by tinkering with
some of the other routes.
Murcia from BHX seems to average over 80% load factor all year
round but I assume winter yields are not that strong with competition
on the route.
