There will be no surplus Q400s once the new LCY routes start in October

So nothing to cover tech q400s? Clever.

Lord S-M: There is something to cover for a tech q400 - its called an Ejet!

What, ONLY one tech Q400?

Not for LCY it won't with 175/195 unable to get in. Businessmen will love getting their £60 for missing their important meeting!! ;)

So that's five spare from some time late next winter / early next summer then?;)

The sarcastic drivel from some posters on this thread is so boring.
Although I expect in their own sad way they believe they are being clever.
It must be a great concern to the civil airline industry that so many brilliant potential (armchair) Chief Executives have been overlooked!!

Birmingham-Berlin

EXT/NCL route is back for W14 in addition to the LCY routes announced.

Sensible timings too, makes it usable for UK based bysiness pax, though less so for Berling originating. Strange they offering a Wednesday service - perhaps a slot issue at TXL.

BHX-Berlin
 

I think you meant to insert the word 'not' in there. I do agree and Hopefully by S15 the frequency will increase . This is a route that will be ditched by the Lufthansa group and was at one time carrying 6600 pax per month at it's peak so obviously the demand will be there.

The word "not" would indeed have been a useful addition to my posting!!

I wonder when Lufthansa will finally sit up and take notice of Flybe, as at present they seem more than happy to roll over and die. Personally I think they (LH) are losing their way - trying to be all things to all men which hasn't worked before, and I doubt will work in the future. But we shall see. They do have deep pockets.

New/reintroduced routes for W14/15

BHX-TXL 5 x weekly
EMA-ABZ 5 x weekly
EXT-NCL 1 x Daily
CWL-GVA 1 x weekly
INV-GVA 1 x weekly

Flybe are commencing LCY-ABZ.

Flybe replaces British Airways London City to Aberdeen service - Business Traveller

Flying MAN-DUS today. What aircraft? Q400 or e-Jet?

BE7213 dep 07:00 Q400
BE7215 dep 13:40 E170
BE7217 dep 17:45 Both Q400 and E170 are used, and 6 of 9 flights in August were with E170

They call then FlyMaybe, can I rechristen them Flymaybenot? At present stranded in Belfast due to tech issues at EMA. I know it happens to all airlines but with FlyBe it sea to be more than most. And people slate FR??

That's the sort of thing written on a playground wall (yawn), and you're supposed to be 54 yrs old? Where's your proof that Flybe is worse than most?

Experience pal. Use BA, EZY, FR and BE regularly. So comparing them ain't rocket science.

All airlines have issues with tech aircraft, just luck of the draw if you keep getting stuck with one, flown 12 flights with flybe never been late, but have had issues with EZY before, where as someone else might of had issues with Flybe but EZY might be on time every time.

End of the day getting delayed by tech aircraft might be a big inconvenience, but I'd rather that than having my safety and everyone else's compromised!
