Flybe growing at Gatwick?

Is this something to do with Flybe taking over some of the B.A. routes that they are dropping or have dropped?

Good point very little coming out of BE thesedays. Anybody heard of any deals in the offing?

BMI Regional / Air Southwest / Eastern / Aer Arran etc?

Or would they rather them go bust and cherry pick the bits they want.

Any comments?

Thought this was a rumour network?? What's wrong with discussing rumours?

Cornish Simon,

Fair enough good point made. Was just looking for conversation on the topic.

Increase in LGW/GCI Route

I see that as from june there will be a 6th weekday flight on the GCI/LGW route. The rotation is going to start in LGW departing there at 1530L.

Any idea where the aircraft is going to be based that is operating these flights. Could it be one of the rumoured LGW based aircraft.

"Guernsey - London Gatwick route boosted by 6th daily flight
Flybe is adding a sixth daily flight on our popular Guernsey to London Gatwick service."

Sorry no advertisment intended just confirming story.

Angry Advert

Anybody see the FlyBE ad on the back page of the Guardian, which I expect would have been in other quality dailies as well?It featured a large map of Britain showing where FlyBE operate from. But there were some problems: London Gatwick and Manston Kent were transposed and both ended up north of the Thames anyway. London Southend is now in the wilds of Suffolk. Norwich has gone for a trip to the seaside and is using Happisburgh lighthouse as the control tower. Liverpool, tired of its scouse image, has reopened in Chester, changing its target market from the Brookside scallies to the Hollyoaks wannabees. Humberside has travelled north over the bridge to Beverley. Doncaster, presumably piqued by Shaheen's pull-out last year, has migrated to Bradford. Leeds has drifted northwards and will now be known as 'Wallace and Grommit Wensleydale Leeds Bradford International Airport' (If Peel owned it, this wouldn't be that far-fetched). Hope the pilots are better informed than the cartographers!

Well, it's a good job we use FMS, IRS, GPS, ILS, NDB and VOR to navigate then.

I fail to see how Maverick can be penalised for his post when it had already been commented on. Many things are posted on Pprune which could be considered advertising, depending on which way you look at it. I am not saying it is correct but he knows now so lay off the guy.

johnnychips - Lol! Doesn't surprise me, it has happened before. Although I have to ask myself why would the paper publish a faulty map. Loving your analysis though - very comical

Flybe triumphs as ATW 2009 Regional Airline of the Year

ATW have just announced Flybe as Global Regional Airline of the year. Only the second British winner in 35 years and even more remarkably the only British winner across 12 catagories in the last 7 years. Well done to the Exeter Massive!
