FLIGHTONTIME.info - Low Cost Airline Delays & Punctuality in the UK
I think you'll find flybe have rather good on time performance. Of course, let's not let facts get in the way of an inane, pointless rant.
Based on the FACTUAL table below, of the UK scheduled airlines only bmi regional, Eastern, Loganair (flybe franchise) and bmi have better OTP than flybe....of which only bmi operate anywhere approaching the same volume of flights. All of the charter airlines have worse OTP, none of which come close to operating the number of flights flybe operate.
FLIGHTONTIME.info - Scheduled Airline Delays & Punctuality in the UK
During the recent weather disruption, flybe cancelled 3% of flights compared with the 10% cancelled by a certain other large UK loco.
So, I'd say that was your 'worst on time performance' and 'worst disruption' of any UK airline claims kicked into touch...
Although when you start a post off with 'whatever' the rest can probably be predicted to be absolute rubbish, as was the case

FL370 I was not talking about charter airlines,So do not count them in.The larger airlines have many more bases across Europe than FLYBE and the terrible weather was Europe wide so the larger the airline the more it was affected.Bigger operations bigger disruptions.Why then did Jim French take it upon himself to publish a letter last year in the Belfast Telegraph to say we are so sorry to all our Belfast Passengers for the terrible service and disruption you have had to endure over the last eighteen months.Google it lad.Its there.Why in Manchester and Belfast are you called Mayflybe.......

Euromanx wasd a basket case long before flybe came along. Their only half decent route was gifted to them by Flybe when they retired the Q300s.
Considering how many of Flybe's routes are short ones, where initial slot delays or tech delays mean you chase your tail all day trying to make up time and get back on schedule, they do pretty damn well considering!

Now now do not speak ill of the dead. EMX did a great job when the BA Baskets lost the point and let EMX take 6000 pax a month off Manchester. They had LPL up at 10000 pax a month and at peak were taking 24000 a month total pax.

BFS101 do not diss my accent,if that is your comeback then you are a very sad individual indeed.Resorting to taking the piss out of regional dialect is very very low.I have stated facts,and the facts have been printed in black and white.FLYBE have lost nearly 40 percent of corporate contracts at Belfast because of their own unreliability.Bombardier Nortel Networks British Telecom Japan Tobacco(gallaher)to name a few......

mutleyshriek, As has been shown previously in the thread, Flybe's punctuality is considerably better than other airlines - an average delay of just over 10 minutes on over 80,000 flights!
Fair enough - if you dont like Flybe, don't fly with them but is there really any point in posting on here telling us how much you hate them?

Shortleg,yes when you are defending yourself.Im just stating the facts and Jim Frenches letter which was printed in the Belfast Telegraph backs it up.Terrible terrible service from the airline who cancelled at least 5 flights when I and my family were either coming or returning to and from Belfast in the space of two weeks(man route).The airline who have lost nearly 40 percent of corporate because of their poor on time performance.Maybe they are better now,I would hope so and I dont hate FLYBE.I actually quite like them for their stance against Brian Ambrose and Michael Oleary at BHD.I just wish that all you FLYBE lovers could remember the horrible service the belfast pax had for a long time.I certantly work with lots of ex FLYBE flightdeck who can.................
November (latest available) punctuality stats from the CAA website:
BHX-BHD Flybe 90.25% on time, average delay 6 minutes, no cancellations
BHX-BFS bmibaby 88.8% on time, average delay 7.6 minutes, nil canx
EDI-BHD Flybe 86% on time, average delay 7.76 mins, nil canx
EDI-BFS easyJet 92.3% on time, average delay 8.24 mins, nil canx
LGW-BHD Flybe 90.5% on time, average delay 7.11 mins, nil canx
LGW-BFS easyJet 80.8% on time, average delay 9.84 mins, nil canx
LHR-BHD bmi 78.5% on time, average delay 10.6 mins, nil canx
LHR-BFS Aer Lingus 71.9% on time, average delay 13.6 mins, nil canx
LTN-BFS easyJet 84% on time, average delay 10.7 mins, 1 cancellation
STN-BHD Ryanair 92% on time, average delay 3.7 mins, nil canx
STN-BFS easyJet 90.2% on time, average delay 4.9 mins, nil canx
GLA-BHD Flybe 91.9% on time, 6.5 mins average delay, nil canx
GLA-BFS easyJet 94.1% on time, 6.1 mins average delay, nil canx
MAN-BHD Flybe 80% on time, 11.9 mins average delay, 2 canx
MAN-BFS bmibaby 90% on time, 9.8 mins average delay, nil canx
Manchester seems to be the only route where there is an issue. Certainly the London performance is streets ahead of most others on the route, particularly bmi who bang on about being so wonderfully on time. The days of Flymaybe - during the BA Connect integration and the many issues which that brought about - have certainly been in the past on my recent flights with them.

Mutley, Mutley, Mutley - such erudite contributions. Many thanks for lifting the discussion to such a high literary level. Your glorious use of the word 'tosser' as a witty riposte, then complaining when you feel somebody is being slightly disrespectful to you - beyond irony!
