i'm surprised they don't attempt a single daily LCY GCI service ; might make more sense
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-eur...rnsey-51228034 Looks like the new owners of Flybe have decided the Heathrow slot will be better served by Virgin Atlantic? Moving the flight to Southend doesn't help people looking to get on to onwards international flights. |

Who cracked the service to SEN to be a serious competitor to anybody?
As others have indicated, a summer service to Guernsey - maybe 2/3/4 times a week may be sustainable. Nobody is suggesting that SEN can replace LHR, even if the subsidy was doubled. |

Flybe owners requesting £100m short term loan from Government on "commercial terms"
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-51244308 |
So what happens if they default? Will the government bring Flybe down?
|
Tomorrow’s Times “Flybe will tell the government that it needs a £100 million loan to survive the winter, on top of the £106 million tax bill deferrment it has received”
So, thinking about it....they need a £100 million loan in order to get through the next 9 weeks ! |
So if they want a loan on “commercial terms” why not go to the Banks?
is it because they won’t lend to them?

You have to expect that the government will tell them to go whistle. If they need money then Cyrus and the grinning jumper should be funding it! I can't believe this is even under consideration.

Eastern Airways
Reading between the lines today with the new routes announced by Eastern Airways are they cutting ties with Flybe and going it alone once again ?
cant find an articles to say the new flights can be booked through Flybe. All just commenting that they will on sale on eastern website and no comment from Flybe at it all? |
Eastern is more of a basket case than flybe in my opinion

It was reported on this site in the weeks prior to the well publicised near collapse that the airline had commenced a head count reduction at HQ in Exeter.
Does anybody know where this exercise is at? How many are to go? How will they fund the redundancy cost? I'm imagining that there are long standing employees who might well be entitled to apply a severance package.? Anybody on here close to that process? |

Unless you have defined in your contract specific redundancy terms or agree voluntary terms the English statutory redundancy terms apply. They are rather less generous than most expect . In simple terms first two years - Nil other than accrued holiday pay The for complete years worked up to your 22nd birthday half weeks pay for each year service. 22 -40 one weeks pay for for each completed years service Over 40 1½ weeks pay for each completed years service Cap out at a maximum of 20 years service and cap of weekly pay £525 per week maximum Maximum payment can not exceed £15,750 |

Surely a cash for taking flybe into public ownership given it is vital for the UK economy . |
Can FlyBe survive? As pointed out earlier, Connect have barely touched their network in the last year.
The Telegraph is going after them all guns blazing. Mind you, BA advertise with them and that paper tries to be sympathetic to advertisers! |

A network of Flybe franchise routes linking Teesside International Airport with the length and breadth of the UK and Ireland, including London and Dublin, have today been announced. Roger Hage, Eastern Airways’ General Manager Commercial & Operations, said: “This is a significant strategic partnership for both the airline and airport to develop the number of destinations available from Teesside Airport. The mix of business and leisure travellers in the region will benefit from this major expansion of three based aircraft operating a broad Teesside network of Flybe routes operated by Eastern Airways, including a number of onward connections in the wider flybe network.” https://www.easternairways.com/news/...-international |
When flybe were rumored to be heading down the sink recently an interesting article came out suggesting plans were in place for the network to be cut into bits and various routes taken over by other airlines.
as it was behind a paywall I don’t know how detailed the reports were, can anyone elaborate ? at this point I think a government loan isn’t going to be seen to be fair, and if it needs a loan on commercial terms why doesn’t Virgin Atlantic loan them ? surely the better outcome would of been for IAG to buy the company rather than connect last year ? cs |
