Looks like Blue Islands has already dropped plans to operate to Dublin from both Islands. There is no mention of it on their website anymore so it seems as if they’ve responded to Flybe already. It is not surprising considering the routing and fares, which were not very appealing at all, especially for Guernsey passengers.
But a good new direct route for Guernsey. Any more announcements to come, I wonder? There was some talk a while back that the authorities were in discussions with a number of airlines to operate new flights from Guernsey; any news on this?

Another Dash 8 Q400?
virginblue
I think an easy one to work out, it makes things easy crewing, with only one type being operated out of the Island,
I would have at a guess unless there is something in the pipe line the BAE146 routes out of Guernsey will be replaced by another Dash 8 400.

I don't think you'll find any changes in GCI regarding the 146 for a little while yet. This appears to have been extended through until the end of the new summer season (Oct '08).
What happens after this date is anyones guess, but a Q400 is likely unless Flybe are willing to restrict weight and capacity of the E195, or unless States of Guernsey agree to a costly reinforcement work to the runway.

An amusing advert
In todays Guernsey paper there's an advert telling everybody how wonderful Flybe's 78 seat Dash 8 Q400 aircraft are compared to Aurigny's old ATR's, which have less seats, and 15 year old Trislanders. JOEY even got a mention.
I was in Jersey yesterday, from memory (I didn't write this down I was laughing too much)
Flybe to SOU Cancelled
FLYBE to LGW indefinite delay (announcement said no information was available)
FLYBE to Birmingham....Cancelled
FLYBE to almost anywhere else....indefinite delay, no information etc etc.
------------------
I really hope that Aurigny respond to this advert (getting their facts complete, unlike me).
I wonder if they are running the ad in the Jersey press?

Its a comment on Flybe customer service - and there's been another one about the decimation of the Norwich route:

Despite (or because of?) their Aurigny slagging off Flybe seem to be getting a quite hostile press......

Quick question. Sorry if has been covered previously.
GCI - EMA
Viability of route?? Has previously been a daily BD route, and x weekly with Aurigny.
My thought is that it would sustain a summer season service for sure.
Any thoughts?

GCI-EMA - I doubt there would be the demand - Flybe took the direct GCI-BHX route and turned it into a triangular GCI-JER-BHX, alternating the first Channel Island airport, so one flight out of two you go via the other island.

As a mater of interest, why bypass the Flybe thread .......for a post about .......Flybe? Why imply something up at Flybe when there is no such thing, it is something up at Guernsey?

Must be the French influence.
Delayed of course due to having to cross that little bit of water
