Let’s look at the routes: Belfast-LHR : BA and Aer Lingus already operate it so any carrier looking for a codeshare has a choice (the two other carriers also having much more frequent flights) AMS-LHR: BA and KLM already operate at much higher frequencies and business friendly times. NQY-LHR: seasonal service by BA. IOM-LHR: up against a daily Loganair flight (which already codeshares with BA and is supported by IOM gov). Other than NQY there are more attractive partners on all their LHR routes and NQY is hardly that popular when BA with their massive network can’t sustain it. |

Maybe there is huge demand for airlines to buy seats on Flybe but I’m not optimistic and with the competition, Flybe will need to offer cheaper prices to win the deals which in turn is not good for profit as it must be pretty costly operating into LHR and only having 76 seats to divide the cost by. They need to find a niche but going up against big, well established and well funded carriers is not going to work. |

Do BA code-share with members of other alliances?
BA says this: “Alongside British Airways flights, we list many codeshare services on ba.com operated by our oneworld partners as well as Aer Lingus, airBaltic, Bangkok Airways, China Eastern, Fiji Airways, Kenya Airways, Loganair, Vistara and Vueling Airlines.” |

It might surprise you to find that the world doesn't revolve around BA.....there are plenty of other carriers to share with.
Personally I don’t think the LHR routes will survive regardless. The other routes are probably possible to survive without codeshares just on local demand. |

Evidence BMI, Flybe( ver 1), Adria, Malev, Regional ( Kenya), Air Litterol/TAT need I go on Primary problem is commitment to prioritise the “others” feed over better revenue potential on own dockets and point to point eroding earnings potential, and demands on service delivery and standards. A different perspective are genuine joint ventures or as in the US the smaller carriers operating under protected scope clauses through. Right now Flybe would be wise to prioritise their own customers imho. |
Is there any truth that Flybe are for sale?

Is it possible that the LHR slots have a value?

Apparently an "aircraft late out of maintenance" is also adding to the problems.
social media also seems to have countless examples of people being put on new flights which are also subsequently cancelled and Flybe telling passengers they won’t cover the cost of new flights/not providing hotel or transport to the hotel. |
Surely the long term impact of losing passengers to easyJet and aer Lingus is more concerning for them when the regular business traveller begins to lose faith and can't risk missing a meeting.
business travel is their bread and butter and once that goes the claw back to recovery becomes hard |

Flybe are back at IOM:
BHD-IOM starts 30/10/22 BE606 BHD 1420-1500 IOM (Mon-Fri) BE608 BHD 1805-1845 IOM (Sun) BE609 IOM 1920-2000 BHD (Sun) BE607 IOM 2015-2055 BHD (Mon-Fri) IOM-LHR starts 31/10/22 BE725 IOM 1545-1720 LHR (Mon-Fri) BE726 LHR 1805-1940 IOM (Mon-Fri) How many times are they going to do this? Stop announcing new routes if you have no idea when your planes can reliably arrive for you to use. |
