Med Flights
Thomsons have BHX - FAO 18/7-15/9 on Sundays BE9113 07.30/14.10
The EDI flights as mentioned above are also in the Thomson timetable
as well.
Can't find where the Humberside originates from in the UK as SOU & EXT
to AGP on Saturdays return straight back to their respective airports.
Hasn't BHD and the IOM got IT flights as well?

As far I as know BHD only has Verona as IT this summer (Thomson and Crystal), in addition to the usual Channel Island flights.
BE9103 BHD - VRN on Saturdays 07.30/20.25
Last year BHD did have a BE Reus on behalf of Thomson in addition to the BFS flight (Falcon), but this year is solely from BFS.
Cheers ALLMCC for confirmation re Rennes, Pity.

On the IOM thread, there is mention of IOM-PMI charters on the Q400.
That must be BE's longest sector on the aircraft - I had a quick play on the Great Circle Mapper and it is more than 900 NM.
I'm guessing around 3hrs block time?

What next???
So how will Flybe forge ahead in 2010?
They have a great starting point having remained well above the recession waters, so how will they capitalise?
The competitors seem to be busy;
Eastern ; x2(3) Embs from LHR
BMI(R) ; new routes to BRU from NCL & BRS
EZY ; 3 more a/c for LGW

What next for FlyBe?
With any luck some decent expansion from CWL to BRU, DUS, FRA, HAJ and MUC and some of the med routes. Maybe more, but even Guernsey would be a start.

What is the current situation with outstanding orders for Q400's?
In their report published in late 2008, they indicated that they had firm orders for 60 Q400 aircraft, to arrive by October 2009.
To date, they have taken delivery of 56 brand new aircraft (the last was G-FLBE) and three future delivery slots were passed to Olympic last summer. This seems to leave one aircraft outstanding and possibly three more to come, if the Olympic slots were deferred to a future date and not cancelled altogether, or the frames simply sold to Olympic unused.
I am aware that a further four a/c from the BE fleet are currently operating for Olympic on an ACMI basis, and are indirectly replaced by the ex-SAS ones (G-ECOV/W/Y/Z), which are not part of the 56 mentioned, with a further two leased (or sold?) to Olympic (G-JECV/W) and now on the Greek register. Overall, this all means they currently have an active fleet of 54 Q400's in the UK market, 50 delivered new, plus the four ex-SAS ones (are you keeping up!).
Does anyone know if BE have now permanently revised their Q400 fleet size downwards, or if there are still four to come, and if so, when. The answer must have a material impact on their future plans for expansion, development or acquisitions.

Interesting report here - since when did Flybe have CRJ900s?
BBC News - Nigel Mansell's jet damaged at Exeter Airport

err...from the story in the Mail on Sunday: "The Bombardier CRJ-900 involved in the incident, shortly before Christmas, is not owned by Flybe, which offers engineering services to both private operators and other carriers."

Anyone have any word on the possible expansion of NCL? This base in my opinion has so much potential to expand... Now that we are slowly reaching the bottom of this downturn, once Flybe do start to expand further should we expect them to capitalise in the North-East?
