I'd have thought that was 8 sectors a day in the week with probably 6 on the weekends. Which is what their aircraft at CWL seem to do.

That's been there for quite some time, used to utilise the Eastern flight from Aberdeen to Wick, with a BE connection from BHD. Then Eastern have rescheduled their flights so connections currently dont work

Here’s our new Board of Directors

STATEMENT FROM ANDREW TINKLER FOLLOWING HIGH COURT JUDGEMENT, FRIDAY 15 FEBRUARY

High Court Rules Stobart Directors Rigged AGM Vote

Stobart’s claims on ‘conspiracy’ and expenses rejected

Andrew Tinkler calls for Warwick Brady and fellow directors to resign

Following a two-week trial in November 2018, the Judge (HHJ Russen) has found that Iain Ferguson, Warwick Brady, Andrew Wood and John Coombs have breached their fiduciary duties to Stobart Group by using company funds to gerrymander a vote at the July 2018 AGM in their favour. The Judge ruled that all four directors had acted for “improper purposes” by trying to manipulate the vote.

Mr Tinkler said: “In light of the Judge’s findings, Mr Brady, Mr Ferguson, Mr Coombs and Mr Wood have no place on the Board of Stobart Group and they should all step down without further delay.”

Full Story is

Logistics firm Stobart Group on Friday welcomed a high court judgement which it claimed left it victorious in a fight with rebel shareholder Andrew Tinkler.

https://www.standard.co.uk/business/...-a4068141.html


However, the judge rejected Mr Tinkler's argument the other directors "acted for the improper purpose of retaining their control of the company".He found they breached their duties by transferring 5.3m shares ahead of an Annual General Meeting, which it was claimed could have swayed the vote re-electing Mr Ferguson as chairman.However, the judge said they acted "with the company's best interests in mind" in doing so.

BMI have ceased trading. Are those who are vehemently opposed to the Virgin / Stobart deal willing to now consider the possibility that just maybe Flybe was damned lucky that there was somebody - anybody - out there to come to their rescue.

Think of the picture of that house in China in the middle of the highway that the owners refused to move out off. So they built round them.
Now raise it up a level an that is nearing how stubborn some are to change

An Arizona-based commuter airline is backing a proposal to shore up the finances of Flybe, the struggling regional carrier, in a last-ditch effort to scupper a takeover led by Virgin Atlantic Airways.

Sky News can exclusively reveal that‎ Mesa Air Group, which is headquartered in Phoenix, is part of a consortium which has tabled an offer to inject £65m of new equity into Flybe.

Pretty sure the board will have already rejected any potential of this. To them the 'Connect Airways' consortium is the only offer ever to go forward for them. Backhanders galore from Virgin.

This proves there is God and will probably keep the Board out of prison.

We can now get Laffin and COW out, get Kohn in and start moving forward.

This is such good news for everybody.

It's only excellent news if it gets accepted. I wouldn't hold your breath.

Forgive my cynicism but what do Mesa bring to the table? If it were Air Nostrum riding in I might understand the logic more but other than slightly better buying power for new aircraft I can’t see the benefit for an airline flying under the banner of AA & UA working with different model and fleet thousands of miles away.

Whatever happens, do the Flybe and flybmi models actually work any more? There seem to be simple economics at play. If you can fill the aircraft with the lowest seat/mile costs, then the route is viable. The tiny sub-market of small aircraft and higher fares for business users is marginal and likely to be swamped by a lo-co the minute the route shows any sign of volume demand. Do either bidders for Flybe aim to change the model to Lo-co or keep it staggering on as is?
