Flybe - 8
AMS remains on sale on the Flybe website.
The crew base cut-over is in about a months time and I would expect a public announcement soon.

Flybe HAJ
Interesting development. HAJ has some good business travel, but not enough to sustain daily A319/B737 ops. Lyon is a bit of a surprise, MXP is a pretty good choice, other thinkable routes would be ARN, PRG, WAW, SZG, VCE, FCO, NCE, DUB, BUD; with Spanish destinations probably a push for he Dash8. All of the aforementioned destinations have been served from HAJ before, generating some good uptake, but not sufficient for the 150+ seats planes.

Flybe HAJ
Number of options then for BE at HAJ, if it was indeed a based aircraft:
1) they add another morning destination for the based a/c (UK destination likely too far for the ca. 90mins sector length)
2) they change the BRU schedule from HAJ so that morning flight continues to be done from HAJ, but afternoon and evening flight from BRU
3) ??
Overall HAJ presents a good test balloon, as BE have had one plane overnighting for many years as part of SN ops there.

Isle of Man
Anyone know what Flybe's game plan really is for the Isle of Man?
Stobart on all flights in a few months' time, but apparently VLM are now also coming to operate some flights in March to MAN.
Beginning to look like a heritage aircraft route....?

Press release re. the above:

Love the way they try to make it an environmental as well as financial decision - yeah right.

Personally I can see little wrong with the Flybe statement. Quite reasonable to say that flying a plane with only a few seats filled is unsustainable in both economic and environmental terms.
However the word 'reasonable' for some posters on here is not part of their vocabulary.

It's naive to think this would be anything other than a financial decision.
I'm not actually criticising that, my point was that trying to dress it up as something else looks a bit silly.
