From winter Flybe will fly GLA/EDI-BHX eight times every weekday, mostly 195 with a few 175 flights chucked in for good measure. I'd imagine those are their main business routes.

I heard an 'analyst' on TV at lunchtime saying that LGW NQY is their prime
business route. Does it make sense to give up those slots in exchange for a cash
injection? The answer is either that it's a well thought out strategy and
they've looked at the value of other routes where they may re-deploy the
aircraft, or they've sold the family jewels in a desperate attempt to stave off
the bailiff.
We will see in time. I don't like the airline, never have,
but for the sake of all the employees, I really hope this works for them.
Mind if I ask where you watched this ? Local or national tv ?

BBC article stated they are 'reviewing there 13 UK bases'. How do people think Exeter will fair? It would be interesting if they did leave exeter and newquay. Aviation in the south west would be nil lol.
They are based in Exeter so doubt they would pull routes, but you never know.

WOWBOY - the very same BBC that mentioned the base review stated that there were bases in Cardiff, Doncaster and Bristol - none of which are bases! They also said that Flybe operate to EDI and GLA from LGW so I'd suggest that we take that particular article with a pinch of salt.
(The current BRS base is purely to operate the SN flights to/from there and will close if/when the SN contract ends or if it is altered to remove BRS. No BE flights are operated from the BRS "base").

Yes BBC are very bad for reporting mis information.
I have been out the loop airline wise for year or more. I was wondering what the story regarding flybe operating to Orly from Southampton. Yet it's Charles de Gaulle from other airports?
Trail run for lower landing fees?

Following the announcement that Jet2 will be withdrawing the BFS-LBA flights, Flybe have announced that they will be increasing their LBA-BHD flights with immediate effect.They will go to 4 times daily from 3 times daily by adding a mid afternoon service.

Or is it the sort of inaccurate, lazy, ill-informed assertion that you have just (correctly) criticized others for making?
Let's stick to the facts, please.

Calm down dear! Sticking to the facts, Flybe don't have bases in those places.
It is his opinion that the BBC are bad for reporting this incorrectly.
Maybe just a lazy assertion from you..............

Yes it was my opinion, as in the past I have read many BBC articles relating to many subjects that have been badly written and provided wrong information. And I am allowed to have an opinion. S there!
There is nothing lazy about it. I have an opinion based on past experiences and I'm entitled to that. Just because you don't agree with it doesn't make it a lazy assertion!

Yes, but you stated your opinion AS IF IT WERE FACT which was my point. If you don't understand the difference (or that lack of attention to such detail = laziness) then you need to return your keyboard to an adult until such as time as you can contribute something meaningful. Is this an aviation forum or a kindergarten?

It's a fact that the BBC get it wrong on occasion.
I am on another transport forum and they seem to choose pics at random to describe stories. So you'll see an InterCity 125 linked to a story about Pacer trains. Or a 747 linked to a Loganair story.
Remember this?

People - I know it's an interesting topic but could you move a discussion of the accuracy of BBC reporting to a thread set up for that purpose ? Jet Blast might be a good location for it - plenty of people who wish to contribute to such a discussion will do so if the thre name has the letters "BBC" in it.
This thread by contrast is primarily for discussion of Flybe

You're right of course.
So back to FlyBe
30 years of flights to Belfast City
FlyBe's shrinking board

Fare (Fair?) Increase
I'm planning a trip to Hungary using the Flybe/Air France tie up via CDG. Can anyone elaborate as to why the planned return leg on 13/09/2013 is almost twice the price of any other given Friday throughout the year? What's happening on that date, are Flybe trying to dissuade passengers from travelling on Friday 13th?
