Should it not say - FlyFe...
Does anybody know when BE recieve their first E175 and which base/what routes it will fly on
Have a few BE flights coming up before the year is out and wouldnt mind trying a E175 !!
Is BE replacing the dash8 with E175s on a like for like basis ?

I too have asked the question but the replies have been deafening and I assume some embarrassment is involved.
I can't remember the exact number of delays as the last official announcement (from memory) was problems due to supply of engine parts caused by the Japanese earthquake despite one aircraft had already been
photographed flying in flybe colours before the press release.
I seem to remember GDS showing the first aircraft on Inverness -
Gatwick from the first week in July. The same GDS is still showing
the same route but from 26/09/11.
It should replace the 195 which should then move to Glasgow for mainly GLA - BHX during the week.
The same day also shows the evening Manchester - Brussels as the 175, which then changes to MAN - DUS two daily and one daily Hanover from 30/10/11.
BHX-DUS shows the 175 three daily from 30/10/2011.
The other route mentioned was replacing the Q400 on MAN-CDG twice daily.

The replies have been deafening for obvious reasons. We can't put every bit of company information on a public forum, again for obvious reasons. The jets will be here soon. There's no embarrassing reason behind it.

Cheers for the update and I fully appreciate the explanation you have given.
My interest other than been nosey was to try the 175 out on the BHX-GLA route, having sampled both the Q400 and 195 several times before.
However the delay means it will be a while before it will operate on a route that I am interested in but never mind.
Also, I heard that some sources stating that the delay was due to problems in the supply chain re engine parts after the Japanese earthquake but others have contradicted this, probably due to the fact one aircraft was already flying around in May.
I must admit the earthquake delay article was actually from a quote attributed to Embraer and not from flybe, although I had heard this was the explanation given to third parties but there have also been alternative suggestions.
However GDS has settled down and 25 or 26th September seems the current date for the 175 début on INV-LGW and MAN-BRU.

I haven't heard the rumour about the Japanese earth quake and engine delay. There was an initial delay in production for whatever reason, but this latest delay is a minor "technicality" that seems to be dragging it's heels a bit.
We're all frustrated with it. We thought they were going to be online in July, then it was the first week in August, and now it's not until next month. There's also a fair few crew trained up and on standby down in Manch waiting to fly her.

Sounds like another case of 2+2=5, someone has seen the Embraer article and assumed that this was the reason.
Just as a point of interest the Embraer site shows in total 136 of 189 175's delivered leaving 53 outstanding plus 285 options (quite a few flybe's) but only one aircraft was delivered in Q2 and three in total in 2011 compared to 39 190/195's.
LGS6753
ee is Estonia as the aircraft will be rotating through Tallinn I believe.

Simply Google! 'Flybe' and 'Hahn' and abracadabra, the answer appears...........
Frankfurt-Hahn: Flugzeug musste wegen Feuergefahr landen - Nachrichten Panorama - Weltgeschehen - WELT ONLINE
Burning smell detected by cabin crew - false alarm.

Q400 Diversion
frfly
Incident: Flybe DH8D near Frankfurt on Sep 2nd 2011, smell of smoke in cabin
46 on the Stuttgart, you can tell it was a Friday!!!
Just arrived back at BHX within the last hour although it was a different aircraft to the one mentioned in the article so I assume the errant one is still in STR.
Pete
Ps. The second 175 has flown per another site 14/07/2011.

. This was the first-ever Q400 at HHN I believe. HHN has a super-long runway these days (3800m), and is much less busy than FRA. Good choice to do an emergency landing. I think the inside of a Q400 quite often smell a bit odd. So glad they bring-on the E175.Report with picture:
Allgemeine Zeitung - Brandgeruch zwingt zur Landung
Nothing (!) in the UK media about this (at least Google News UK finds nothing). Not newsworthy then.

A smaller find but I have just found on the SOU timetable for February the early morning MAN flight on a Sunday is now scheduled to be operated by an E175, presumably one of the MAN based ones.

No idea, the line given was "external influences outside of BE control" - something still to do with Japan?? So I am guessing by this that maybe the aircraft are not quite ready for delivery afterall.
Judging my the frustrating changes constantly having to be made to schedules, I believe BE want them asap.

I believe there are at least 3 ready for delivery/acceptance, just sitting around gathering dust.
Nothing to do with Japan or readiness.
Serenity is closest but it's not a problem getting the finance it's more finalising the finance. If you know who the finance is with then you'd understand that it might be a rather time consuming exercise.
