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 G-JEDM/P/R/T/U/V/W G-PRPL Finally does anyone know if BE intend to paint any of the E-Jets in the purple livery? There are no plans to paint the E195, not sure about the E175. |
I see that G-PRPA entered revenue service over the weekend, now that it's officially on the register ( as of 27th ).
|
Anyone have any idea when the rest of the winter schedule is due to be released?
|
Social media team keep saying by month end
cs |
It is hardly confidence inspiring for customers if they keep being this vague about releasing their winter schedules, especially when basically every other major airline already has them out already. They did the same thing with the schedule for this summer.
|
SAS
Has it been announced yet which routes flybe will be flying on behalf of SAS?
How will the aircraft be crewed? By currents flybe staff working out of base for a few weeks at a time or will they recruit new crew to be based at a current SAS base? |
Must be sleeping Adfly! Flybe's winter schedule announced and went on sale on 10th June.
|
Ah, sorry, Adfly....you're right. Haven't seen the rest of the winter yet either? Guess they might make a decision soon - anyone know?
|
Regarding SAS flying:
I cannot imagine it will be UK based crews because the aircraft acquired for the SAS contract are ATR72's not Dash8's |
will be local crews - a good few already hired from out there already and in training.
|
I see Cello are subbing on the IOM today with a '146. What are Flybe short of?
|
Sorry, couldn't resist - Just a guess but could it be aircraft? Most airlines will need to charter in from time to time as it would never be sensible to always have enough spare aircraft should anything go wrong. The important thing is to avoid any EU261 payouts if this can be avoided.

Just a guess but could it be aircraft? Maybe another "resource" in short supply? |
My wife and a friend were flying EMA to JER on July 7th. The plane was sitting on the tarmac for the 90 minutes it was late taking off. The reason was that someone had been sick on the previous flight and they couldn't find the cleaners to clear it up.
It was delayed 90 minutes on the return flight as well. Not too good for a hours flight. Bring back the baby! |
VC10man,
I'm really sorry your wife and friend experienced a small delay on this Flybe flight. I'm sure you can appreciate it's out of Flybe's control if one of our passengers is sick on the inbound flight though. I can promise you the crew will have tried their best to get the situation addressed ASAP once they were on the ground. I'm sure you would of been even more miffed if your wife had boarded the plane to find the sick still there next to her! I suspect there was an issue/ delay with the contractor who have all the correct equipment to deal with the offending vomit. Who knows they may have been busy dealing with other puddles of sick on other aircraft/airlines if there was a lot of turbulence that day. I hope that helps you understand the situation. |
Cello
ETOPS
Are you sure aout Cello yesterday as the 46 seat aircraft was on a footie charter, the 82 seater on the ground BHX and the 734 operating for TUI. However there were problems with the jets yesterday with one 175 on maintenance (JF), another did one flight only and then sat for 24 hours to mid afternoon today (JC) and the spare 195 was also at BHX not flying. I didn't ever think I would say this but the Q400 has been covering the 175 flights yesterday and today at BHX. Whether all the jet down-time was tech, crewing or planned maintenance I don't know. Pete |
There was no Cello in IOM yesterday, although something did go awry with the second BHX-IOM-LPL-IOM cycle as there was an aircraft swap and the last leg didn't complete until after 10.00pm. Still they got everyone home and there were aircraft here for the early departures today.

And assuming that flight had a few more rotations that day with tight turnarounds then a few hundred people could have been affected. |
Firstly, would you get in a taxi if there was vomit on the seat? Secondly have you ever tried to get cleaners at EMA to attend an aircraft when they are not contracted to? The crew do not have the means or equipment to clean vomit correctly it has to be seen to by cleaners, there is no choice.
