Stobart Air are planning to operate two ATRs in Flybe colours based at IOM from Oct 2015.
Only a guess but perhaps an ATR42 to do STN and an ATR72 to do MAN.

That would leave LPL and BHX for the Dash8

This would make sense seeing as ATR 72-500 EI-REL has been kept in BE colours despite not having operated any BE services for many months now (ATR 72-500 EI-REM is doing the SEN services and has been for some time). It is used as the EIR "hot spare" for when there are no EIR or white livered aircraft available. ATR 42 EI-EHH and ATR 72-200 EI-REI are both in plain white after their short stints operating for CityJet so maybe one of these two will get BE colours? ATR 72-200 EI-REH is the only plane in the fleet to actually carry Stobart Air colours so I imagine they will want to keep it :P ATR 42 EI-CBK and all of the ATR 72-600s are in EIR colours so repainting one of these would make no sense.

Could this indicate a move of the STN route to SEN?

Does anyone know if the DH4's coming from Republic Airways are retaining there Republic 74 seat layout or are they being reconfigured into a 78 seat layout as per the rest of the BE DH4 fleet?

Loads

RHINO

Loads at BHX are wonderful and they have also stemmed the cancellations using Cello, Titan, Jota (CWL) as well as VLM (IOM) over the last few days.

The only problems at BHX are delays and getting the 175's up in the air (lack of crews?) although another Dash disgraced itself today but it arrived back safely.

As for some of the other new routes June was not great but early days. Rotations and the passenger figures from the CAA.

STN IOM......6541...43 pax...55% load factor (see why the F50 operates now)
STN-NCL......4046...39 pax...50%
STN-NQY.....2893...52 pax...66%

BHD-LCY.....10304...51 pax...66%
EXT-LCY......4315...42 pax....53%

Cardiff for June- Rotations and pax figures from the CAA

CDG......2027.....61....52% based on 118 seats 33 flights
DUS.......305.....38.....49% based on 78 seats
ORK.......341.....43.....36% based on 118 seats
DUB......7608....47.....55% based on 72 seats WX/STK and 118 BE
MXP.......346....38.....33% based on 118 seats
FAO......1992....83.....70% based on 118 seats
BHD......3739....63.....80% based on 78 seats
EDI.......7584....48.....??% based on 72 seats WX/STK & it says Loganair?
GLA......2006....63.....53% based on 118 seats
JER.......1633....62.....53% based on 118 seats

Perhaps were about to see the start of the release of the additional winter routes which flybe have been suggesting will be launched for some time now.

Fingers crossed things look a bit clearer for winter soon.

It is ready run by a third party company called Sitel - they do it for other companies too. Where is likely to relocate to?

Winter 2015/6

All sorts of changes appear to be in the system now, for example
BHX-HAJ and MAN-HAJ doubledaily during the week for the best part of winter. BHX-TXL up to 3 Saturday flights.

Very sad to see these jobs going at EXT

Also sad that NQY doesn't see any increases for winter with just daily LGW and MAN.

There was hope that NQY-BHX would see a winter outing and that MAN would be increased from 7 weekly.

EDI-LPL - will be pleasantly surprised if that lasts. What is it with BE? pin the tail on the route map?

Why shouldn't LPL-EDI be a success? The only problem is that it is not at least double daily. Both Cities are large enough to sustain the route, there is plenty of Business and leisure traffic in both directions. There is also no competition from any other airline (or rail for that matter), It appears that sound positive market reseach has been done.

Agree, double daily from the outset would be better, from a business perspective, but given the perenial road congestion I can see this route working, rather more likely than some of the other iffy routes FlyBe has embarked on in the past 12 months.
