Flybe
Flybe announce new route from Exeter to Normandy | Exeter Express and Echo
Was this one included when the 're-instated' Flybe Costa flights were announced two or three weeks ago?
Exeter to Deauville from June to September 2 x weekly.

Definately a new route not previously announced as part of the EXT "sunshine routes" re-instatement. Appears in the booking engine with flights available 25/6 to 3/9.
DOL was also announced as part of the BOH launch, maybe it will be flown on a W with one of the BOH-based a/c?

It is to an airport renowned for offering very significant levels of "marketing support" to airlines so neither BOH-DOL nor the subsequent addition of EXT is surprising in that regard.

How likely is it that EXT AMS will become double daily? My misses wants to move back to the EXT area and we now uses AMS to connect to BRS a lot as the EXT schedule is a pain but a proper double daily would be great. Any gossip if this is on the books?

Had a quick look at a random date in March and it seems on weekdays the flights are as follows:
EXT-LCY 0645
EXT-LCY 1510
However the LCY second flight doesn't leave until 2030 so one assumes the aircraft will serve one of the additional BHD or EDI in between. Still useful for those in London on day trips but for the few (and I expect it to be just a few) on day trips to Exeter it's not exactly a long day when considering journey times to Exeter airport from the city centre.

@GlobalGlobal: I don't think AMS doubledaily is at all likely, however, even it did come up, I'd advise caution to decide moving to any place based on a flight schedule, particularly FlyBE's route planning is anything but reliable, routes come and go at worrying speed.

Unusual visitor today at EXT?
Wondered what was buzzing around at 2000ft around 9am this morning in Mid Devon, checked and found it to be a Bombardier Global Express (twin-jet) VJT822R which was about to land at EXT having flown from Miami, Florida.
Anyone got any inside information as to who was visiting, other than the crew of course?

March Provisional Stats
Terminal passengers up 7.1% to just shy of 800K for the previous 12 months. Nice to see the return of AGP, ALC and FAO scheduled services.
Key routes showing growth in March:
I looks like Flybe Codeshares with CX, EY, AY, AF, EI seem to be having the desired effect... LCY figure still not released, here's hoping they can bed down the twice daily service.
I also notice EY code now placed on DUB, EDI & AMS flights - as well as MAN.

As only a single TOM 738 is based, I assume either a second aircraft will be based or flown in to operate specific flights on days where TOM will operate three flights instead of two?

There is no requirement for Thomson to use an extra aircraft next summer as there are only 2 rotations a day except Friday when there are 3 rotations and the aircraft gets back early Sat am
The 3 extra flights next summer are now
Air Malta A319 Tue Malta
Air Europa B 738 Las Palmas Mon
Air Europa B 738 Palma Thu
