Well, the timetable update released today shows the return of a 3rd flight (late pm) in the W15/16 schedule, if that is any indication?

Edit: I was wrong on that. What they've done from the start of the Winter Schedule is to move the evening rotation to an earlier time, now
departing LCY at around 1730 instead of around 2000

2014-15 Annual Results
 

Announcement on Wed 10 June
Anyone care to guess what surprises might be in store, bearing in mind the interim statement on 07 April 2015 ?

14 - 15 Annual Results
 

Flybe made a loss before tax of £(35.6)m (2013/14: £8.1m profit). However, this loss before tax is affected by non-cash revaluations on our USD loans that are intended to be hedges against the value of each aircraft, whose value is denominated in dollars. If these movements are excluded, we made an adjusted loss of £(25.4)m (2013/14: loss of £(0.1)m). Cost of surplus aircraft were £(26.0)m this year against £(1.7)m the previous year and this year included significant costs of the Finland discontinued operations of £(12.0)m and £(4.0)m provision for EU261 claims on delayed and cancelled flights prior to 1st April 2014. Conversely, 2013/14 had one-off restructuring costs of £(10.7)m, offset by one-off £10.5m profit from the sale of our Gatwick slots. For illustrative purposes, therefore the UK profit net of these factors would have been £16.6m (2013/14 £1.7m).

As expected, we will find out how the market reacts in 20 minutes.

So, in laymans terms, excluding the costs involved in restructuring and correcting the errors of the previous regime, the company made a handsome profit?

If so, then that looks as though, despite all the naysayers, some wise decisions have been made, that are putting the business on a firm footing for the future. Or is that too simplistic?

I do, very much, hope that you are correct !

That how I see it too ATNotts,

If we get shot of the 195's this year, we should (fingers crossed and subject to no further exceptional charges) start making money next year!

Famous last words:rolleyes:rolleyes:

If the 195s go this year, then what is in store for the CWL base, the main purpose of which appears to be to find something for the 195s to do, that is more profitable than having them sat around gathering dust?

Switch Cardiff to an E175 base?

Market mildly positive. At 11.00 shares up 1.5% compared to all share market +0.3%.

EK codeshare
 

Another codeshare agreement for BE commencing in July subject to the regulators

I see a E175 was doing the CWL-CDG today. Is it a W pattern or was the CWL E195 subbed?

Also Q400 doing the SOU-PMI at about 2hr.30 which isn't too bad.

Cardiff

The 195 last flew this morning in Cardiff and per FR24 has remained there with a 175 sent empty from BHX after it completed MXP-BHX sector.

The BHX aircraft was replaced by a Cello 146.

So from transporting the likes of royalty, footballers and corporates to the more humble pax on the BHX-BHD route. At least no cancellations at BHX and just CWL-GLA return so 10/10 for effort. It has been a while since they have used Cello at BHX.

175

I have noticed one 175 has not flown since 26 May, is this routine maintenance or is it getting the purple treatment?

According to BBC Guernsey's Facebook page, Flybe are reviewing all of it's services to/from GCI. I personally fear the worst & think we are about to see the end of BHX, EXT, NWI & SOU services, if this is the case it will be a sad day for the travelling public of Guernsey.

I hear the Flight Ops management complete are also to be reviewed....
DFO, Crew Manager an his henchmen too?

Jerbourg

Only an unrepresentative survey of their EGBB-'JB-'JJ & vv. service, which I've used quite a bit lately. The loads to & from Guernsey have been poor (in the region of 10 to 25) on every flight that I've made.
This doesn't augur well; but I've not flown on that many flights, or any of the other routes, so I have no definitive answer.
Let's keep our fingers crossed !

PS The Jersey loads on these flights have been much better.

Don't see how they can successfully compete with Blue Islands on SOU-GCI with the single flight they are operating this summer, the competition now offer 4 flights per weekday (3 at weekends) on their ATR72. Don't think many people saw this happening when Blue Islands originally upgraded the route from J32's to the ATR!

You are right there, adfly !

The Flybe app is now available.

iOS version of the app went live in the app store yesterday. Windows and Android versions are currently in development.

Does anyone know if the leased DH4's that are joining the fleet are configured with the same number of seats as those currently in the fleet?

Also how are BE progressing with the painting of the DH4 fleet?. Are there still just the 16 aircraft in the new scheme?

G-ECOH
G-FLBC/D/E
G-JECE/F/G/Y

Finally does anyone know if BE intend to paint any of the E-Jets in the purple livery?
