Is that a final list of routes to be closed for the time being, or are there
potentially more route cuts to come later this month

I believe the share price increased again
Difference is, this bad news is good for the long term and thats what investors are interested in.
Any ideas of what other routes may be chopped?

I don't think the call centre really knew what was happening today as I know of a member of the public that contacted them after his Cardiff to Paris flight was cancelled.
The response from the call centre was that the route was under evaluation however the decision would be made on the 11th December. Within an hour there was a press release to the media and flights not available to book online.

Reading the media release carefully I'd speculate that this is the extent of planned route withdrawals for the period until October 2014.
However frequency reductions and consolidations, changes to operating bases and therefore timings, on the remaining routes, are another matter.
December 11th sounds like the target date for having the new schedules in the system, when they will be able the change displaced bookings with more certainty as to alternatives.

Anyone think that WAT may get cut from MAN/BHX? BHX has been performing pretty well as of late when going on the pax numbers over the previous couple of months. I Don't know about MAN, LF seems to be in the 40%-50% range.
Such a shame 2 of other Irish routes have stopped. Can see really why GLA-SNN was dropped, but don't really know much on the EDI-NOC and how it was doing. Hopefully won't be too many jobs lost overall.

It was my understanding Flybe was to re-evaluate the Sunshine routes, with an aim to become a 90 minute airline. If these are the only cuts, then it would mean destinations such as Alicante, Malaga, Faro etc were all staying??
It seems that the routes out of Exeter and Southampton to places like Faro and Malaga are ending around 30 September 2014, instead of running through to late October 2014. The summer seasonal routes are still being run, just that the last few weeks in October look like being dropped, prezumably because of expected insufficient demand.
I somehow doubt there are many people who will have booked on these sunshine routes for October a full 10 months in advance at this stage.

davidjohnson6,
I do apologize, I understood it as the Sunshine routes were ending at the end of next summer. What you state makes far more sense, so I've deleted my inaccurate post...
Sorry everyone!
