The 195 operating SOU to AGP and FAO is a Manchester based aircraft not Southampton having flown on the morning rotation from MAN to SOU to pick up the FAO flight. On it's return to SOU from AGP it makes a late rotation back to MAN.
SOU to MAH is currently scheduled to be on the Dash 8, this has been known since the route was announced.

Flybe have used the dash on a regular basis from SOU to PMI along with ALC so it's not really surprising to see them use it from SOU to MAH.
Although personally I would prefer to see an EMB on the route as I would think most of the passengers using it would especially those TUI customers.

I realise these routes have been run using the Dash for some time, doesn't make it any more palatable in my opinion. Family members took a Dash to Geneva during ski season and said it was the worst flight they had ever experienced, both cramped and noisy and that was a 2hr flight, not 3!

I think next Summer 18 , the 195 aircraft is Southampton based only and does not operate to and from MAN as it has done in previous years
The first arrival from Manchester is not until 0940 well after the the 195 has departed
Partly this is possibly to help with any delays during the day with ATC and the quite often late arrival of the 195 and subsequent SOU closing times , something the Skiathos flight could well endure in the hight of the summer

Just give up, mart901, you'll never appease stewyb. I also don't know where this notion has come from that the dash will take 3 hrs to go to MAH when the flight time to PMI is about 2hrs 15m but there we have it.

Funny, I just checked the company system, the last flight to PMI from SOU had a BLOCK time of 2hrs 31m, so it's not my knowledge that's superior (well it is superior because I've flown the DH8D & EJET for a number of years) as I'm just conveying facts, remember that's block time, airborne time will be at least 15 minutes shorter than that

Well they did have that under carriage collapse at Amsterdam with a Q400 so that could've led to the higher than expected maintenance bill. I'd thought they would've been required by the CAA to check the landing gear on all their Q400s which may have increased costs.
