"in the press again today, that more cuts are to be announced, especially at Lgw."

So with BA looking to cut LGW and make T5 the centre of the world, how long until Flybe pick up plenty of new routes?
The largest catchment area in the country and still no base?
BAA moving out soon, will that make the difference?
Seen the large billboards over the entrance/exit, last airline to advertise up there was Easyjet!!

MAN

Flybe suggested that the may reintroduce a MAN-MAD service amongst other routes a while ago! Has there been any progress with this? Perhaps they don’t have enough E195 for the job!

How much did BE contribute to the BA drop in profits by 91pc? Judging by their level of service, handsomely.

Most of the participants in this thread have no idea of the amount of crap the Mods have had to edit or delete. We started a new thread to try a 'reset' and bring the BS to a minimum.

Does anyone know when the Next Gen Q400 cabins will be appearing on the flybe network?

Look far better than the current setup (which isn't too bad itself)

I don't think Flybe are getting any of the Q400 NextGens.

I am nearly sure that the picture is the cabin layout of the 5 SAS Dash 8.

Hello,
No, thats not a picture of the SAS Q400 that flybe operates, the seats on those a/c are identical to Flybe's Q400.
And the boxes on the rear Galley are Atlas boxes, not ovens

Flybe Connections from EXT

See Flybe are offering connections from EXT to IOM and HAJ via MAN...
One day I hope they will offer interline with SQ via MAN also!

not cold hard facts....but

Does anyone know when the Next Gen Q400 cabins will be appearing on the flybe network?
ive heard whispered rumours of a deal with bombardier for 30+ options on nextgens with a generous discount due to the filling of Widerøe orders with a few of the G-ECO*s

look nice in the pictures, lots of shiney LEDs.....and window blinds (as fitted to the former SAS Q400)

Flybe suggested that the may reintroduce a MAN-MAD service amongst other routes a while ago! Has there been any progress with this? Perhaps they don’t have enough E195 for the job!
Im sure this one will appear in the summer schedule, along with a few other new routes (or old Bacon routes). as far as i know, there are 2 195s parked up not doing anything at the moment. maybe someone can clarify this

these are hard facts..........

ACARS search shows 13 of 14 195's were active today, and the missing one was flying yesterday, so that suggests the parked up theory may not be quite right.

Q400

I think this bus - coz that it is what is - is really really good over distances of 95 mins. after that it is perhaps hard going. climbs like b*****y. I like it!

All 14 flying today. There may be occasions when a couple of them are on the ground - winter timetable and they will be used once the skiing flights start in Dec. Certainly not "parked up"

Gatwick to Amsterdam

I have noticed that flybe have applied for four daily EMB195 slots to operate from Gatwick to Amsterdam next summer. Seems a strange move or is this part of the rumoured deal with B.A to take over more routes from Gatwick ?
