And of course with the USA slapping punitive duties on aircraft imports from the EU, Delta might see the prospect of diverting some of their A220 order to FlyBe thus saving additional costs that may not have been budgeted for.

....are you sure?.. the A220 was developed with Canadian Government and Bombardier investment (not Airbus) in addition to the assembly line in Montreal, the aircraft will also be assembled in Alabama, USA. “Airbus' manufacturing growth in the United States advanced another step today in Mobile, Alabama, as construction of the company's A220 Manufacturing Facility officially launched with a groundbreaking ceremony.16 Jan 2019” FF |

Lets hope they don't go down the route of Connect as the main segment of the name but on this same theme G-FBXE ATR is all white on the apron at East Mids, will this aircraft sport the new brand/scheme?

Agreed, but they’d have to convince the other 70% owners of Flybe that getting bigger, more expensive aircraft was a good decision and I can’t see that as an imminent decision. |
So the minority shareholder of the minority shareholder will re-allocate some of their expensive new assets to help turn round a loss making business in a declining market? Should go down well in Atlanta!
