Flybe v3?
It appears that there may be a third attempt rising from the ashes.
www.beregional.uk https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/15645806 I can’t see it happening. Director, and majority shareholder, is 73 year olds according to Companies House. Quick google search shows there is a John Chilman who is a senior member on the pensions advisory board.. doesn’t appear to be the same person. Let’s hope not anyways. Below taken from their LinkedIn page: https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....8a728b304.jpeg |
They refer to "beregional Ltd". A quick google search suggests there is no such company registered (yet) at Companies House and I couldn't find the business on the Linkedin site.
Hopefully this is another bored teenager in their bedroom. |

beregional. I like the name. Credit to whoever came up it.
|
It would have helped if I'd searched for "Limited" rather than "Ltd". Stupid boy!
Perhaps they can join forces with Asquith to feed his A380 operation? |

Some things are just not meant to be, and this is one of them. BERegional starts with the right three letters - it’s Beyond Economic Repair for sure.

One of the directors is indeed active on this site BA318 - and the criticism is all taken in good humour I must say!
This isn't some outlandish attempt to create a new airline from scratch - at the moment the plan is very simply to begin presenting the name so that we can continue attracting industry professionals to steer the company further. There does remain some very focused regional demand which we believe can be filled, but if something does come of it, it will be a very long-term and small-scale venture. We are making moves, but nothing irreversible as yet. Expect to hear much the same in a subsequent press release. The Flybe comments are well-received too, and rest assured that this isn't a Flybe MK3 and while the name will stay as it is currently, the logo almost certainly won't. Please do get in touch with me if anybody has any more to offer/add. |
There's a lot of money to be made out of regional airlines. The staff of Flybe 2 are still waiting to be paid the money they are owed and yet the administrators have already racked up 1.9 million in administration fees. :rolleyes:

Would it just be better to buy out Eastern Airways? A ready made Airline that doesn't appear to be very well run or know where it wants to go. Everything setup ready to go, aircraft, maintenance, bases. Just needs the right Management.

Think we can safely put this one to bed and move on!
|
I remember starting a regional airline back in 1999 with a colleague who is sadly no longer with us and a member here offering to eat his hat if ever it got off the ground.
Do hope he put ketchup on it I wouldn't right off any venture until you know ALL the facts, hope their desires work out. Don't follow the heard, plenty of niche and profitable opportunities still exist I am sure. 73 is still in your prime by the way! |
"There does remain some very focused regional demand which we believe can be filled, b"
You mean replacing Eastern? :D |
No No No No No and again NO
|
I'm intrigued. Although I don't know the identity of anyone posting on here, the guy listed as the lead for this new venture also has on his career profile that until last month he "Advised the board of a UK regional startup on strategy ahead of launch. The company did not ultimately progress to AOC and commercial launch despite having had a team of experienced leaders in place." With lots of stuff about ecoJet in the recent past and it looking to have gone very quiet on that front, is ecoJet still planning to launch as well as a possible Flybe 3?
|
Credit where it's due at least they stress this is a study of feasibility which is a lot more than most seem to do these days
Good luck to them. |

(that Loganair, Emerald and Eastern aren't profiting from right now.) |
