FlyBe - 6

[EuroWings]

Hi, I wonder if anyone could help me with identifying which aircraft will operate a flight. I am flying with a very nervous passenger from Hanover to Manchester, who would like to avoid a turboprop (although I have absolutely nothing against the Q400!).

The choices are BE 7309 on Sat 7th July or BE 7309 on Sun 8th July. Flybe's website is saying Q400, Kayak/Amadeus and other timetable websites are saying E175 and FlightMapper is saying Q400 on the Saturday and E175 on the Sunday.

I am very confused, so I wondered if anyone actually knew? I realize the introduction of the E175 is probably adding to the confusion.

The flybe connections timetable clearly shows the 175 on both flights and amadeus also should be correct. I would say at present the intention is for
the flight to be operated by the 175.

If you have noted the Q400 from the booking engine, I would not necessary trust that.

However with so long between now and the departure date things could change but the connections timetable seems to be fairly accurate other than of course last minute aircraft substitutions.

Is the cat now out of the bag?

Anyone with access to GDS should see SN2049 BRU - BHX operated by flybe Q400 for this summer.

Tyrolean still shown on the earlier bHX flights and two SN RJ100's as well.

Not gone into this in too much detail but it seems to be work in progress rather than the final version.

Can anyone confirm?

Reported on another site "DK" Q400 has entered the spray-shop at EMA.

Routine maintenance or will this be painted in SN colours if indeed any are
to be painted?

Still showing in GDS from the end of the month 06.35 out of BHX to BRU returning 21.50 with a Manchester flight in between as mentioned before.

Thought DK was one of the ones going back to the leaser.

[Tonyq]

I noted a couple of weeks ago that G-JEDJ which left the fleet late last year to 'return to leasor' has now been transferred to WALKER AVIATION LEASING (UK) LTD on G-INFO. It would seem that it is not going back but is remaining in the FlyBe 'family'.

Could this be part of gathering sufficent airframes for some of the new initiatives currently being mooted?

Hand-back check then for DK and not the spray-shop?

"DK" definitely not owned so a possibility.

According to the reservation system, from July, Flybe are to operate 3/4 daily departures from MAN - only the night stop to remain on SN metal.

I'm booked on SN2050 as part of a Lufthansa return to VLC via a convoluted route of BHX-BRU-ZRH-VLC on Good Friday. After booking they elected not to operate the morning DUS-BHX-DUS which gives an excellent connection both ways to VLC. Returning is the far more acceptable VLC-DUS-BHX.

I've just received e-mail from Lufthansa confirming SN2050 to be operated by Flybe.

Tyrolean will also be operating a DH4 for SN. This will be used on some BHX and MAN services. The SN timetable seems to be in the process of being updated. So additional BE operated flights may be to be added

Cheers for that, a recent GDS update then, as I targeted HAJ & HAM as possible flybe Q400 flights from Brussels and I only checked on Friday and they were both showing as SN RJ100/85's.

The schedule more or less works for two flybe Q400's one over-nighting in BHX and one in HAJ. The only pattern that doesn't fit is when the HAJ aircraft arrives in BRU at 08.00. If SN2173 was brought forward one hour it would then fit the schedule with aircraft operating HAJ-BRU-MAN-BRU-HAM-BRU-HAJ-BRU-HAJ.

I am not sure of the point of SN2173 as the first arrival of the day at Manchester, as it is the same time as the flybe flight. The BHX flight is about an hour earlier which caters better for the Belgium based business pax unless there is a slot restriction on BRU-MAN although I am also not sure how the SN banks (waves) work at Brussels.

It seems another smart piece of business done again by flybe, just wish they would have showed a bit more ambition at BHX re routes although perhaps caution might have been the best approach post 2008. Having said all that this makes ten aircraft overnighting at BHX this summer and this is not counting the DUS aircraft which is crewed from BHX.

Not true.

I booked flights in March 2011 for travel in Dec 2011

[Wycombe]

According to another forum, the proposed weekly (Sat) NWI-SOU route for this Summer (planned to be op. with the Suckling Do328) has already been knocked on the head.

I am not sure of the point of SN2173 as the first arrival of the day at Manchester, as it is the same time as the flybe flight.

It's always possible that the BE and SN relationship will be strictly a wet-lease deal without codesharing, in which case SN would be competing with BE on MAN-BRU

Sounds odd, but it does happen in the US where Republic Airlines has operated routes for Delta in competition with Republic owned Frontier Airlines

[IOMspotter]

Where are the two Brussels crews and aircraft coming from. We are losing one from Ronaldsway but id herd this was going to Aberdeen.
