I expect you'll find it is all to do with a small place called Anfield! This alone will give them reason enough for a weekend service over the winter! Not such a silly move.

Well at least they still have 4/5 a day to Manchester! Get's me to Old Trafford:) Glory Glory MAN UNITED!

Hello,
I think BE is planning quite odd things for this winter season, amongs others, with regards to MJV routes.
When the winter timetable was released they directly cancelled EXT and NWI routes for the winter. I do understand their decision with regards to NWI,as it has been a new route this year and loads have been around 100 pax/flight and obviously in winter people do not travel as often as during summer months.
With regards to EXT, they started the route in NOV05 three times a week with 737, which is a bit too much for the winter and had to cancell some flights during jan and feb, but when they resumed the flights in April, with a 112 seater loads have been over 105 all the time. I did expected they would continue the route at least once a week from nov.
BHX and SOU had been left with tow and once weekly frequencies respectively. Bookings on the BHX route, as usual, had been going extremely well (some of their flights nearly full even two months in advance) and now suddenly they have totally pulled the route after two months of sales.
Does anybody know what the reason for that is?
Does anybody if they will resume the routes again in March or will BE definitely leave MJV, as they have got most their required slots at ALC?
Regards

i would see no reasen for the to stop MJV next summer if they have had pus 100pax/flight this summer!

Poping in
 

Jersey will have the first oppertunity to see FLYBEs newest aircraft to the fleet the EMB195.

The aircraft is due into Jersey this Friday ETA 1515 local departing 1645 local so all concerned can see and understand the aircraft.:ok: :ok:

To name a few Handling
Fueling
Catering
Cleaning
Enginering

And last of all Air Traffic Control.:sad:

This visit is for operating requirements, the EMB195 will be visiting on an adhoc basis for some time before Jersey will have an aircraft based to replace the good old BAE146:ok:

Thats providing it hasn't broken on it's visits to BRS SOU LBA NCL NWI BHD and BHX:ok:

...and Goodison (currently, definitely the Pride of Merseyside)!

:D

It already has once, apparently:}

Any idea of when it might pop into BHD?? :)

Didn't know it was visiting LBA! Any idea when?

LBA

I could tell you but the I'd have to shoot you:E

Jer-gci
 

I see Flybe have applied for a licence on the JER-GCI route, taking on Aurigny.

Perhaps Aurigny might be happy to not be the only operator on that route, as it knackers bigger aircraft due to the short sector times. How many SD3-60's have been worn out on that route?

Scottish Tour
 

The EMB195 will be doing its tour of Scotland (well edi-gla) on thursday night... Will be on board for a look before seeing it off!!

Flybe starts INV - BHD 4 x weekly on 12th December after Easyjet pulls of the route.

Ramper,

the 195 is due to be in BHD on Thursday 14th from 1605 to 1705 local, give or take a bit I would say. Its doing the rounds of all the bases over Thurs and Fri.

They always used to operate JER-GCI but there were problems with the GCI transport board and the route was withdrawn with the hope of reinstating it in the future. They currently fly EXT-GCI-JER and its quite fun being on a dash for the GCI-JER sector, I flew at 2000ft and it gave a great view of both islands.

Cheers huskit77!! :ok: :)

Might take a dander up to take a nosey then.

Me too! another Bangorian we have here!

After all the singing of the praises of the EMB - its just a shame that the BE832 from BHX to GLA tonite is cancelled as is the BE892 from SOU. Why is this?

I was always worried about the winter service at twice a week especially
compared to the Monarch schedule.

The closure or suspension of the Murcia route suits flybe as it enables
them to reduce the BHX base by one aircraft by tinkering with
some of the other routes.

Murcia from BHX seems to average over 80% load factor all year
round but I assume winter yields are not that strong with competition
on the route.
