Seems BE had around 80% of scheduled flights from BHD, so the airport were heavily reliant on the purple planes!

SKOJB
Utterley incortect SOU BHX and SOU were very big bases |
I think the point is the airport was overly reliant on just one carrier ie BE a situation they not keen is repeated
|
So was Sou
I despiar after 9 years but, is there any remote chance of some accuaracy? |
Ops original post badly phrased
so, now, instead of correcting inaccuaricies until i'm blue in the face, i have to be a mind reader as well. Goodbye |
Looks to be G-JECX will be the first plane for Flybe 2.0
and is painted in the new Flybe purple livery similar as G-JECP https://www.skyliner-aviation.de/reg...LC=nav4&page=4 |
Do any photographs of this aircraft exist with the new scheme?
|
Feels like it getting close…. All the pieces are coming together. :ok: Slot grab my arse
|
I think the slot grab was Plan A.
Ressurecting a defunct airline in a post pandemic world is Plan B. You can imagine how many former passengers are still owed money by flybe....! What's the pitch to the formally loyal customers? £££ |
And yet a quote from ACL in a recently-posted article suggests that the new airline has had the slots transferred to it.
|
..does this mean transferred to it from the 'old' flybe's holding, or flybe 2 have re-applied for remedy slots and been allocated some from the BA/BD remedy 'pool'?
Obviously this doesn't make a whole lot of difference at LHR (other than that, in the latter scenario, flybe 2 would have less flexibility to be able to use those slots to serve other routings for 3 years), it is more of a fundamental question whether flybe 2 can get their hands directly on original flybe slot holdings elsewhere.. |
So many hints; articles suggesting this and that. Interpretations, calculations and assumptions.
Let us have some flesh on the bone. |
You're not going to get that until the airline is good and ready. If there are any new employees on PPRuNe they are, with total justification, keeping their fingers off their keyboards on the subject.

I believe that, alongside the remedy slots 'leased' from BA, some/all slots have been transferred from the 'old' Flybe.
From this article: https://www.business-live.co.uk/ente...h-new-21833195 Specifically the paragraph which reads as follows: ACL, the company which coordinates slots at 46 airports, confirmed to Business Live that some landing slots had transferred from the original firm to the new Flybe company. In June 2021 ACL said: “Following the revocation of the former Flybe’s operating licence, ACL confirms that the airline held no slots at UK or Irish airports at the time of the revocation, having transferred them to the new Flybe operation, to which the Flybe business was transferred in October 2020.” It added: “ACL is not expecting any slots held by Flybe 2 to be returned. If they are, it will re-allocate them to other carriers.” |
My understanding was these are the other slots MAN for example. The disputed BA slots went back to BA. The new Flybe can of course get them but will have to use them for the same period before they would keep them as before. Does anyone know if they did or are they leasing separate slots from BA?

New Flybe livery

Blimey, I bet it didn’t take them long to come up with that design! I hope that’s not the finished article?
|
New livery.
I like it. Distinctive, keeping it simple.
