NEWQUAY
I notice on the NQY website that they are saying the annual DUS flights will start on 12th April this year - that's much earlier then previous years IIRC?
I asked a previous question about the ski flights to Geneva that should have been operating now if they were going to - I assume these were pulled?

The press release from Berne Airport is here (in German). Limited information: Intersky will fly to Berne on Saturdays from Newquay, Manston, Prestwick and Bournemouth, using ATR72-600. Flights will go on sale from the middle of next month.
I doubt that an ATR can squeeze in more than two round trips from Berne to the UK in a day (Prestwick-Berne must be more than 3 hours!), so if the schedule is correct, it would appear that Intersky is going to be positioning both of their ATR72-600s to Berne for winter weekend flying.

Prestwick-Berne
Pleasant flight on an ATR-72 in the winter from Prestwick to Berne - I donīt think so. Captain comes over the PA after 90 minutes and says hope you are enjoying your flight - we are just passing over Manchester!

Newquay - Southend
On the BBC now, so it must be true.....
BBC News - Flybe picks up flights between Newquay and Southend

I know it's always better to have a route flown on a regular basis than not at all, but at what point does Newquay become too dependent on Flybe ?

As I said in the flybe thread I think that this is great news, but where's the aircraft coming from ?
BE don't operate any other routes at SEN so that would suggest NQY based or on a W pattern from another base ?
If NQY based surely that would have to be a 2nd based frame ?

Some may claim that Southend is indeed a London link and therefore any subsidy to keep a flight going to Gatwick is not necessary. See how it goes over the Summer then if it does attract London traffic you have your answer to an ongoing flight connection to the City ..... a thought not an opinion by the way!

Do Flybe actively promote flights from the West Country using Manchester as a hub ?
I noticed that they are moving up to 2 a day, so presumably an early morning which should theoretically tie in with Manchester long haul and specifically Thomas Cook charters where there is a tie up.

I've used the Manchester "hub" from Exter to Inverness a couple of times. Great service. Unfortunately doesn't work from Newquay; Manchester flights too infrequent.
I've given up with Newquay now. Exeter seems to give me what I need; just a shame I've got an 80 mile trip either side of it

NQY - MAN 14:45-16:00
MAN - NQY 16:40-17:50
Worth noting that those times fit perfectly into the afternoon connection bank at MAN. Flights from ABZ, INV, BHD, IOM, NWI, EDI and GLA (plus SOU & EXT but would be an odd routing) all arrive at around 1600 and depart again a little before 1700.
Let's hope Flybe make some effort to market the connection opportunities.
