Flybe has been named as Britain's most punctual airline.
Figures commisisoned by the BBC show the carrier, which serves a number of routes to and from the Island, has a consistent record of departing and arriving on time at all its operational airports.
According to air industry analysts OAG, just over one in ten Flybe flights are significantly delayed.
Still think it is just about stobart to and from Isle of man ...????

I flew MAN-SOU last week and it was bang on time. Good flight and the Q400 is perfect for this job.
Broadening the topic, I must confess to having lost the thread a bit now with Flybe and its MAN hub operations. What have we got from this winter onwards?
Flybe itself on many routes
Stobart for Flybe in Flybe colours or anonymous white on IOM/SEN
Eastern for Flybe in ?? colours on INV/GLA/any more
and Loganair now in competition with the above on GLA/ABZ/NWI
Do all the above still code-share through the hub and also connect with other carriers at MAN?
Help!

Appears flybe's decision to outsource its maintenance at MAN and BHX a few years back might end up costing them dearly if the rumours about the future of its partnership with their current maintenance provider are true....

Yes the reason was the last recession and the decision was to outsource it which, whether we like it or not, helped the company to continue trading. We're in a slightly different financial state now so I guess that's why it's being reviewed.

Interestingly, Cityjet seem to increasingly look to promote incentives lately. Too early to draw any conclusions on whether or not this is pre-emptive marketing to remain on an offensive footing knowing Flybe has ignited services out of Southend now and with new routes commencing during the approaching Autumn period and through the Winter too, senthe out today:

If the pay rates for engineers at flybe are as derisory as those for other staff i very doubt you could even recruit enough qualified staff to carry out in house maintenance
