According to Jethro's there are four more E-175's due by end of 2012. It appears that no more Q400's should depart until summer 2013 (assuming that the next ones due up are on 10 years leases), so that should provide enough capacity for the new Brussels work and the new EMA base.
The initial announcement about flights from East Midlands to Amsterdam, Jersey and Paris was made on 2nd May. A cynic might say that if after over 8 weeks flights haven't gone on sale, then it's probably not going to happen for the time being...

Flybe withdraw SOU-FRA route from sept.
Flybe pulling the SOU-FRA route from early sept. Had an email from Flybe regarding my booking SOU-FRA in october, upon calling them they informed me no more flights after early sept(cant remember exact date). No one knows why, just 'commercial reason' Not sure if any other FRA routes affected or just the SOU one.
Seems a strange one to give up, the FRA flights always seemed pretty busy even if the flight times were not really early enough.
Does anyone know the reason for the withdrawal?

A shame to see Flybe dropping FRA from SOU, I hope the MD @ SOU is straight on the phone saying:
MD: Hi is that Lufthansa?
LH: Yes how can I help?
MD: Do you have a free CRJ700 and 12 weekly FRA slots available?
LH: Yes we do!

Sou - Fra
Typical Flybe of late. Throw away all the hard work of generating good demanand on a dynamic route for the sake of moving in on the carcass left behind by a failed airline. No offence but airports such as EMA might be a wash with people escaping Britain in the summer but as various failed airlines have proved the yeild doesn't add up.

SOU-FRA
It's worth remembering that FlyBe dropped MAN-FRA and BHX-FRA not so long ago. The SOU flight was the only FRA route that wasn't culled. So maybe FRA as a market just isn't working for them.
The dropping of the MAN and BHX routes was quite a surprise at the time as they were long established routes acquired with the take over from BA Connect. I'm sure the bean counters know what they're doing (one would hope at least).

Q400
Possibly fewer Q400 flights the better after today's problems, which saw their luck with the Brussels Airlines flights run out.
In fact not a great week at BHX, with cancellations, delays and combined flights plus of course the Denim Air F50.
Work colleague on the 12.05 BHX-BRU SN2040 actually managed to get on three aircraft for the price of one and will end up in the wrong country on his 50th having expected to end up in Stockholm!
SN2040 "OH" went tech on start-up, followed by three hours in departures before "OB" was prepared, then approximately 20 minutes into the flight it returned to BHX tech. By this time flybe had run out of aircraft and he ended up on the 20.20 Brussels Airlines RJ85. SN have paid for the hotel in Brussels tonight and re-booked him on the first Stockholm in the morning. Ironically he had booked on 06.00 but SN moved the BRU-Bromma times making the connection only possible on the later flight. The 06.00 went on time of course but SN2049 BRU-BHX cancelled.
Another site has "OO" emergency into Gatwick today - is this right?

G-ECOO pushed back off stand 9 and then it was surrounded by fire engines. I think it dumped a load of hydraulic oil on the taxiway - it was towed back onto stand and the sweeper trucks were going crazy cleaning up.
G-JEDW has been tech on stand in GCI since Wednesday - not sure what is/was wrong with that one?

Q400's

Cheers for that, "OO" has just positioned in to BHX.
A better a day at BHX but quite possible that "OB" disgraced it self for a second day running. Showing as operating BE7121 to Stuttgart this morning from BHX with BE7122 cancelled and libhomeradar indicates BE7121 was its last flight.
Certainly never a dull day with the Q400 fleet.
Any more news on East Mids to Paris and Amsterdam?
