Flybe has been named as Britain's most punctual airline.

Figures commisisoned by the BBC show the carrier, which serves a number of routes to and from the Island, has a consistent record of departing and arriving on time at all its operational airports.

According to air industry analysts OAG, just over one in ten Flybe flights are significantly delayed.

Still think it is just about stobart to and from Isle of man ...????

I flew MAN-SOU last week and it was bang on time. Good flight and the Q400 is perfect for this job.

Broadening the topic, I must confess to having lost the thread a bit now with Flybe and its MAN hub operations. What have we got from this winter onwards?

Flybe itself on many routes
Stobart for Flybe in Flybe colours or anonymous white on IOM/SEN
Eastern for Flybe in ?? colours on INV/GLA/any more
and Loganair now in competition with the above on GLA/ABZ/NWI

Do all the above still code-share through the hub and also connect with other carriers at MAN?

Help!

No Loganair codeshares with anyone at the moment as far as I am aware.

Well it is correct. There are no Loganair codeshares at the moment.

You say watch this space, I presume for future codeshares coming online. But of course that is not at the moment, as stated.

Appears flybe's decision to outsource its maintenance at MAN and BHX a few years back might end up costing them dearly if the rumours about the future of its partnership with their current maintenance provider are true....

Who's the current provider and what's the cleaner suggesting ��

You really need to clarify what the rumour is when posting, otherwise, the post is meaningless.

Monarch currently provide line maintenance at MAN and BHX.

I think Apple aviation provide support for flybe at MAN and BHX , Strange flybe
dont use their own people as they do at other bases

Just checked , My apologies your correct.

Apple also provide NQY

They also have their own engineers at some places, Sounds a right mish mash TBH, Must be reasons i guess

Yes the reason was the last recession and the decision was to outsource it which, whether we like it or not, helped the company to continue trading. We're in a slightly different financial state now so I guess that's why it's being reviewed.

Problem is the options are limited , Taking maintenance back in house might be easier said than done...

That's way above my payscale.

Big changes for the better coming regarding reversing poor decisions we made four years ago regarding engineering

Interestingly, Cityjet seem to increasingly look to promote incentives lately. Too early to draw any conclusions on whether or not this is pre-emptive marketing to remain on an offensive footing knowing Flybe has ignited services out of Southend now and with new routes commencing during the approaching Autumn period and through the Winter too, senthe out today:

If the pay rates for engineers at flybe are as derisory as those for other staff i very doubt you could even recruit enough qualified staff to carry out in house maintenance

What "other staff" are you talking about?

Salaries may not be the very best at Flybe but there is more to a job than just the salary
