Flybe-9
Handling and airport ownership have almost zero impact here, anymore than a BAA to BAA airport ever did.

If I read that report correctly £15 million of the £20 million bridge loan has already been gobbled up. I really feel for the staff but not to the shareholders, you took a punt and lost. As I said before whoever at Hoskings decided to hold nearly 20% of the stock wants their head tested.

When the poster first wrote about the loss of the early morning flights I read it as being from EMA, although I’ve no idea if Flybe operate the routes he mentioned from there.

Until such time as the Connect deal goes through any talk of which routes will stay, go or be launched is futile.
That said, I also can’t see the viability of a MAN hub unless Virgin significantly upscale their operations. The only way I can realistically see this happen anytime soon is if they also took on Thomas Cook.

The supposed smiley isn’t visible when viewing on mobile. Playground stuff.
I think the posting around services being cut back refers to Edi and Gla to Ema, served by aircraft at the former two bases. Check the schedules for any month in the summer and the cuts are definitely there.

The effect other than you can't do a days business in the East Midlands from Scotland is that it also affects the Jersey and Amsterdam routes from East Mids.
What I can tell is that Amsterdam remains and is operated by the Edinburgh aircraft but by reducing Glasgow to twice a day the Jersey flight has to change and it appears to be operated by a BHX based aircraft. The knock on effect for BHX is possibly the reduction in Channel Isle services as some days only shows two flights a day compared to three.
I reviewed the BHX schedule for summer 2019 earlier and the second Milan on Tuesday and Wednesday has gone as well as the Channel Isle changes, other changes mentioned on this thread or others is some Isle of Man reductions to Manchester ad Liverpool.
Aircraft utilisation at BHX has been improved with 5 out of the 6 based DH8D's operating 8 sectors per day in the week.

The Flybe reduction I believe the poster is referring to, is the East Midlands changes which currently show the early morning Glasgow and Edinburgh services this summer as being removed from the booking engine which appears to be correct.
