ACARS shows both G-ERJA and G-ERJC still flying from MAN, mainly on the German routes. Another poster says these will go by the month end, which makes sense, bearing in mind the stockpile of new Q400's and the desire to get to a two type fleet.
G-EMBN is still active, but with BMI Regional. All others are withdrawn and most have moved on to new operators in Ukraine, Spain and Greece.

Are not 2 of the Q400`s headed for LGW by the end of next month, and i doubt id be far wrong saying that there is probably more routes from LGW yet to be announced??

Q400's
G-INFO shows G-ECOT as added to the UK register yesterday, so delivery must be imminent.
There are also photos of G-FLBA/B/C on Flickr, at various stages of readiness, if anyone is interested in searching. They all wear Flybe colours, so rumours of their disposal now seem ill-founded.
Interestingly OT's ownership status is given as 'chartered' whilst G-ECOP/R are shown as 'owned'. I guess this reflects Flybe's apparent agility in most things they do, and putting the most favourable financial arrangements in place, at any given moment in time.

Q400/145/195
LN-WDT Wideroe Q400 arrived back in BHX at 17.12 today and
appears to have entered the hangar. I assume G-ECOB will be
re-applied shortly.
Just the one 195 operated out of BHX yesterday on schedule
flights but it did not last with all three operating this morning.
The last time I checked the flybe timetable it had next Thursday
as the last day of the 145 operation (Dusseldorf - Manchester)
but I assume that is subject to change.

BHX to Palma (and MAN-PMI) are both regular charters this summer season. However you have kind of answered your own question really - they do not appear on the Flybe website as they are charter flights and can only be booked through the appropriate travel agent / tour operator

Palma IT's
Not restricted to Manchester or Birmingham to Palma either by the look
of it with Q400 G-JECR operating Guernsey Palma today per acarsd.
Is this a bank holiday one-off or regular throughout the summer?
The aircraft operated BHX-ABZ-BHX-GCI-PMI-GCI-BHX - a fair days
work for a Saturday.
Some pretty good Q400 utilisation today out of BHX although there
was enough slack for one to position to Dublin this morning for a
Rugby charter to Edinburgh.
The ex Wideroe Q400 (G-ECOB) is still supporting it's Norwegian registration but in full flybe colours.

OltonPete is correct, BE have been operating GCI-PMI and JER-PMI, the latter operated by a mix of Q400 and E195. These are charters again although I have a feeling some of them are private charters
Usually flights BE8*** are private charters / football charters
BE9*** are IT flights for a tour operator

The Palma charter flights from Guernsey and Jersey have been operating during April and May on behalf of a local tour operator; they finish at the end of this month. BE9325/6 are the flight numbers for the Jersey flights I believe.
Flybe will again operate charter flights from Jersey to Palma between mid-July and mid-August during the summer holidays. I understand that Flybe will also operate down to Malaga from the islands during October.

Woud there ever be a possibility of flybe launching a once or twice weekly scheduled service from Guernsey and Jersey to Palma or Malaga, operating say GCI-JER-PMI-JER-GCI? They already operate a weekly summer service from Jersey to Nice.

Has anyone heard or got an update on rumour as follows: 4 Q400s to go to Athens with crew to operate with a Greek Airline. Andrew Strong (a Flybe boss) has apparenrly been out there several times to set up the deal?
