At the risk of a flaming, as this is a medium where communication is via the written word, is it not unreasonable to expect a decent standard of spelling, punctuation and grammar? Anyway, back to Flybe.

Deano - Thanks for the kind advice but i've already got a great life
Cheesycol - in other words, my point exactly
Last year I read something about Flybe looking to expand from BHX and MAN with routes to Eastern Europe and Scandinavian cities. With more E195s available now, does anyone know if these plans are any closer to being realised? Or has the current economic climate put paid to that?

Disappointed to discover that FlyBe has installed tacky adverts on the bottom of the tray tables (at least on the Q400 that brought me to LGW today). The ad is both uninteresting and uninspiring, the concept is frankly aweful. Still I guess someone is putting some money in their coffers, but I really suggest that those in command give serious thought to the value, and the negative impact to the FlyBe brand these "ads" create.
Yuk!

The ads. were on G-KKEV a couple of weeks ago, so not just the ex-SAS ones.
I agree they are a little tacky, and despite staring at it for 40 minutes, on and off, I've no idea what the product was. Obviously that's not FlyBe's problem, but one for the advert agency to ponder !!

In regards to the Loganair / Flybe franchise. Do they use the same handling agents for both airlines operating at same airports or do they prefer different handling agents?

Traffic Figures
Any good data out there on Flybe Pax numbers over the last six months..?
Can't help but notice at least two of their hubs (SOU/EXE) down quite dramatically.
Any indication of capacity plans summer 2009 vs 2008?

From IOM website it is possible to work out that they are 13% down in February on IOM routes,versus the combined FlyBe and Euromanx numbers for 2008 (after allowing for the EMX routes which FlyBe didn't take up). Included is a 24% increase on IOM-BHX.
That said, they cut capacity quite savagely on LPL, MAN and LGW during January and early Feb so their load factors and yields will surely look much better than a headline decline of 13% suggests.
They do appear quite slick at cutting capacity, even if it's just a few flights here and there on the slacker days of the week.
I'm sure you're really looking for numbers across the network, and IOM may not be typical, because of the one-off impact of Euromanx but I hope this is of interest.
