Any spare Q400s round the network boys, we need one down here in Ronaldsway after 2 days of delays and changes. 5 hour delays and trianglear services combing BRS and BHX yesterday...
I cant see the damaged aircraft flying for a few days till the structural boys have been and tested everything.

Aircraft subs
IOMspotter
They have been chartering in with BHX seeing a Small Planet 733 on Friday and an Aurela 733 was flying MAN-ABZ per Flightradar24 today.
A couple of delays at BHX today including the IOM which is due out now.
The sixth 175 still has not arrived although it was registered on Friday.
In respect of the IOM incident, another forum states that a driver of a vehicle on the ramp had an heart attack and it went into Q400 "CH". Can anyone verify this?

BluffOldSeaDog - Flybe (Nordic) can be discussed on here as much as EasyJet Swiss can be discussed on the Easyjet thread. Let it go 
Olton Pete - yes can confirm, but thankfully the guy to my knowledge is recovering

Will be very lucky if CH moves anytime soon, if at all... Lots of rivets gone, damaged stringers, creased skin, 4in slice into the skin, and the biggest dent I have seen from ground handling equipment. I wouldn't like to even guess how much it is to repair... Blank cheque at the ready and fill in the zeros! Not sure if it would be a right off, but that's for Bombardier to decide I guess!

From the discription above it sounds less than what happened to DO a few years back, that required a rather large plate about 2m square to get it back to EXT afterwhich the whole starboard skin from lower crown to upper crown aft of rear door to pressure bulkhead being replaced with some frames and stringers.

Flybe & KLM codeshare on SOU & INV-AMS routes
Regional carrier Flybe has introduced a codeshare agreement with KLMKoninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij (Royal Aviation Company) the flag carrier of the Netherlands on two routes from the UK to the Dutch carrier’s Schiphol hub.
The codeshare will apply on Flybe flights from Southampton and Inverness to Amsterdam from today, May 30. There are three daily flights from Southampton and one daily service from Inverness.
Flybe operates these two routes using Bombardier Dash 8-Q400 and Embraer E-195 aircraft.
“This partnership enhances the existing cooperation between the Air France-KLM Group and Flybe,” said the companies in a statement.
“Flybe and Air France already operate within the framework of a codeshare agreement on a substantial number of routes between France and the UK.”

Denimair are delivering a Fokker 50 aircraft to Flybe this evening. Presumably to cover the absence of the written off aircraft. Anyone know the tail number of the now deceased aircraft ?

PH-KXX is currently enroute as BEE048P! No FlyBe signage had been applied by this afternoon (when I was near it on the ramp @ Maastricht)

So its G-JECO ? Such a shame for Flybe. Well PH-KXX to the rescue then ! Although a F50 isnt exactly BE's usual style. Does anyone know if BE are planning to replace it ? I assume so as their fleet is quite stretched on their schedule anyway.

AG - it says three times, in the previous four posts, it is G-JECH. Not sure where you got G-JECO from!
I think you have answered your own question.....It seems that Denim are going to replace it, presumably until it is fixed or another Q400 can be found from somewhere.
