Quote: Though, why they'd want to do that after Virgin Little Red failed is anyone's guess, especially given the costs of using smaller aircraft at LHR Don't forget the £10 per pax discount on fees for domestic passengers from Heathrow being introduced from January 1st. That should change the cost dynamic significantly. With an ever expanding portfolio of codeshare partners, Flybe could perhaps offer some useful domestic feed through Heathrow. Why on earth would Flybe want to offer domestic feed to long haul carriers at Heathrow ? This is the kind of thing that killed off BMI when it was part of Star Alliance Depends how you structure the agreement...the old BMI guys weren't the sharpest knives in the drawer.... Would also be a completely different set of circumstances if BE or any other carrier entered into such arrangements. |
Can't ever see it happening but as others have said it would be different to BMI.
BE do already codeshare with 10+ airlines including the big players at LHR for longhaul, EK, VS & BA. I'm sure they could fill E95s from anywhere into LHR but making it work financially who knows. cs |
Just booked 2 returns from GCI-CWL for June next year. £80 each....bargain.!!!!! Let's hope the flights remain

Flyland
It has been discussed on the Dundee thread you may find the answers there. |
Suppose part of the deal with runway 3 is that places like Inverness, Channel Islands etc are going to get service into LHR at a reasonable level of frequency. Who is going to want to fly 70-100 seaters in there? Surely not the big boys. Something like the Flybe arrangement with Air France could be attractive.

It might happen .... & then, again, BEE might withdraw it the next month - as seems to be their "business model" !

Press release confirming (what we all suspected) that there is "more to come"....FLYBE PUTS MORE 2017 SUMMER ROUTES ON SALE
|
Grow up, Kcockayne, you were just as obnoxious when you worked for us. There's nothing worse than a disgruntled employee who can't seem to move on.
|
Just whom am I supposed to have worked for &, what is obnoxious about pointing out that BEE have a history of changing, & reversing , decisions at the drop of a hat & at an apparent moment's notice ? And why should I be disgruntled . Also, exactly what am I failing to move on from ?

The competition authorities are forcing BA to provide UK connections to non-partner airlines at certain rates (I've no idea what those are) to promote completion at LHR, so there is no pressing need for non one world airlines to encourage BE to LHR. The failed VS experiment with Little Red suggests to me that there isn't much money in flying mainline equipment on UK domestic routes, even when the slots were "free". Its even more telling that flyBe or Aer Lingus didn't apply for the slots after VS announced their intentions to withdraw from UK flying.
Remember around that time EI had 4 aircraft dedicated to the operation - it found better use for all 4 from Dublin and flyBe were looking for homes for the E195 fleet, which have since been based at CWL and DSA. |

Anyone have a view on the type and route BE would operate if they did get BA remedy slots?

Stobart Terminates CityJet Talks, Will Extend Flybe Agreement Instead - Finance News - London South East
So where are these flyBE airframes coming from to operate 18 more routes from SEN? |
the wording suggests Stobart airframes, not BE.
|
Do Stobart have 4 spare airframes to replace the proposed 4 Cityjets?
|
maybe JOTA could help
