The Glasgow -CDG route is also not non stop and involves sitting on the apron at Cardiff.

Flybe Announcement

Dear Virginblue,

Commercial director has done press conferences in South West, Cardiff, IOM and Scotland today,and they seemed to have gained wall to wall coverage. Don't know where your coming from- A Branson-esque approach to a route at a time only works on longhaul.

Just been looking at the BE website and I see the fares to EDI and GLA have been reduced to £27.99 each way as opposed to £31.99 previously. Neither have they upped the fares for the early Monday morning and late Friday evening flights as they used to start higher than the advertised base fare. I guess maybe EZY are taking some of their traffic to BRS?

Why do Flybe bother saying there will be more routes to France from NWI, but when they open the summer 2008 schedule they don't show any new routes, if your not going to open anymore then don't bother saying you are

It's all a bit boring seeing BE start new routes where T3 are operating. Southampton seems a bit hard done by, only NQY is a "new" route for the airport, still no extra sunshine routes.

NickBarnes -You make a good point. There is strong talks within Flybe about new French routes from NWI......maybe they are separate to todays 'big announcement' and will follow in the next few weeks.

Disapointed not to see their are no new routes from GCI, after Flybe hinted at them a few weeks ago in the local media.

Does anyone have any opinion on wether they will base new aircraft in INV or just night stop crew. The MAN rotation looks like it originates in INV. And according to the web site it will be in 145's.

A E195 is defo planned for INV to do the Gatwick rotations. Shares shows it operating for next summer and when you go to book for August the ecolabel shows a 195 too!

The INV crew are converting onto the E195 now. These are the same reliable, trusted, experienced and superb folk who operated G-OINV all these years. They'll be able to chase down the Easyjet soon enough.

Sorry but that just made me chuckle.......The E195 is far more comfortable for both passengers and crew so I am sure the traveling public in Inverness will be pleased to see its arrival when ever it is.

Sorry if that sounded too nice...if my base closed I'd bid for INV everytime. They really are the nicest bunch up there, the locals are very lucky.

How about a route to the scottish isles?apart from Highland Airways and Loganair,there isn't much competition.I think that an airline with the fare structure of Flybe would do well on routes to SYY and LSI/KOI.But i could be wrong-what does everyone else think?

How about INV-EDI? Loganair schedule useless even if you could afford it; train journey 3.5 hrs+ and seldom pleasurable; this route at a standard FlyBe-ish price and with reasonable frequency would have to be a winner ... wouldn't it .... ???

I've recently started working in Jersey on weekdays, and I've had a couple of JER-LGW flights on FlyBe's E195s. What super aircraft - shiny and new, and bags of legroom even for a tall bloke like me. Very nice indeed - I think it's great when an airline decides to look outside the "usual" twosome of Boeing and Airbus for aircraft of this type.

Hello, just a random question for anyone in the know; are the E-195's likely to be used on the Befast-Edinburgh route any time soon?

Nope. That route is thoroughly the preserve of the Dash. Strange things often happen at weekends and in irregular operations of course so I'm sure it will happen one day, but no, it is not going to be regularly scheduled.
