Flybe - 2
 

I thought BHX was in line for the first 195, has this changed and is there
any info when it is likely to arrive?

What about GLA/ EDI they need some new routes too, BHD/GLA/EDI seem to be left out when it comes to expanding.

Probably too much opposition from the BIA/GLA/EDI routes.

EDI has seen some expansion this summer with daily flights to JER, NWI increased 2/3 daily and new summer flights to NQY. Now with the promise of EMB195s on some of the SOU flights things aren't all that bad....

Well out of the three GLA has seen the least expansion as of late!

Belfast City has just got connection's with Doncaster Sheffield and Galway by Flybe. Edinburgh as stated by GoEDI has had new summer flights to Jersey, Norwich has been uped in frequencey and a new summer service to Newquay has just started.
While Glasgow has had Norwich as it's latest route by Flybe, no additional Norwich flights or Newquay services.

Does anyone know what happened to flybe's plans to operate from Edinburgh and Glasgow to France etc? They said a Winter 2006 start!
And yet there has been no announcement.

As of 30 Oct 06 Exeter -> Norwich will go down to 2x weekly on Mon & Fri, route looking dangerously close to being axed!?

Anyone know of passenger levels for this route?

Wowboy

I think your info is wrong. Flybe website shows a service daily but at different times depending upon the day!

Flybe at NWI
 

Flybe are keeping NWI-EXT daily. Route is going great guns and has completely suprised management.

Removal of services to MJV,FAO, BOD for the winter is part of Flybe's normal scheduling model for immature routes and is no indication of how they view NWI. Management are happy with NWI services in the main.

Sorry guys!

I read the timetable wrong. I thought that the route was doing well and it suprised me when i thought i read it going down to 2x weekly.

I must read more carefully! :} :E

NWI seems to be the rage at the moment! WOW's services BRSNWI seem to be doing well too.

Excellent good to hear AirSouthwest and Flybe are doing well from NWI and hope this will continue

Flybe couldn't make BHD-NWI work.......BHD-LPL seems to be running down as does BHD-NCL..BHD-BRS If you listen it sounds like a death rattle there too.I wonder if BHD-LGW could be next.

Seems EasyJet are managing ok.....(I KNOW THEY DON'T FLY TO NORWICH)

Its no secret that the NWI - BHD service didn't work but equally it wasn't a great suprise, first year loads were always predicted to be 40 - 50%, thats what they got and it wasn't enough to justify continuing the route.
as for the other routes, I've no idea, nor from your pithy remarks, do you.

As for Easy Jet from NWI - well at least that's one thing you're factually correct upon - for the moment.....

The BHD - NCL service is increasing to double daily for the winter.

I've heard the BHD-BRS service is possibly being dropped. A friend of a friend had rang up to book but was told 'they were possibly stopping the route.' Website doesn't have it on sale after October either.

Merely calling it like I see it. There was a MASSIVE flurry of advertising about not being"Easily mislead" and they were NI's original low fare airline. They were NEVER low fare and from my experience remain resolutely more expensive on routes to GB ex NI and it would appear that ,over here at least,people are voting with their wallet.

It looks pretty certain that Flybe's BHD-BRS has been dropped for the winter.

At present the a/c (DH-8-400) positions into BRS mid morning from BHD on a revenue-earning flight before working either BRS-Bergerac or BRS-Bordeaux (depending on day of the week) and returns to BHD from BRS around teatime following its return trip to France, again on a revenue-earning flight.

Bergerac and Bordeaux have apparently been dropped fror the winter as well so it seems Flybe don't think it worthwhile to operate BHD-BRS-BHD on its own.

Until last year there were three daily Flybe BHD-BRS rotations, reduced to one this summer.

Flybe have undoubtedly been seriously affected by the three daily easyJet BFS-BRS rotations. They tried manfully to compete for a couple of years or more but seem to have now thrown in the towel.

E195
 

Sorry for such laziness for not posting the link but there is a photo
on airliners.net photo section (under embraer, E190/E195).

It looks splendid :) and very longggggggggggggg due to I presume the
wide angle used (shot in the hangar).

For those who are interested the BHX aircraft is shown in November on
the BHX-ALC-NWI-ALC-BHX on Mon, Wed, Fri & BHX-AGP-NWI-AGP-BHX
on Tue, Thu, Sat. I think the NWI-AGP stops in early Dec and it also
does the once weekly Saltzburg in late December. Sunday it goes
to Murcia I think.

heres the link http://www.airliners.net/open.file/1068608/L/ it sure does look good can't wait untill i see it here in NWI

EMB195
 

The aircraft looks good in the shot.

There are two registration markings above the cockpit looking like EA, Flybe must have put in a request for some out of sequence registrations but what are they??:ok:
