Flybe 1 and to a lessor extent 2.0 where trying to be everything to all types of passengers. The cabin baggage charges at the end of flybe 1 really pushed the customers to the limit and now Emerald trying the same game. It won't end well.

What was Flybe 2's turnover? edit-- for calendar 22, it is 350,000 times sector revenue per pax.

whats this about BE 3.0 surely not?

adminstrators doing what administrators do, seeing what they can get

Yes. Interesting but probably will not find out what it goes for at auction. The brand is only good for ash trays and legally changing it to flymaybe. Not even sure the social media element has value seeing as the airlines trustpilot rating never improved over V.1. 81% one star. Good work.

Interesting. What does this give as the total turnover figure for calendar 2022?

Flybe website now showing a purple cover screen and the original logo of the MK1 company, with administration enquiries being redirected to Interpath's own site. Surely not another round of this. An administration report is due in the next few days if I understand correctly.

After two failures, Flybe as a brand/name is seriously damaged/tainted, so you'd like to think that nobody would be *that* crazy to want to resurrect it for a third outing, but the saying goes...“If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.”

I wonder if the AOC from Flybe 2.0 is still active/available and whether any new prospective Flybe 3.0 operation would be able to buy/use it, or would they have to do the same as what happened when Flybe 1.0 went into administration and obtain a fresh one (as Flybe 2.0 did...!) because I understand that AOCs are not usually allowed to be simply transferred over, particularly not Type A ones.

I’m guessing the change to the website is more to do with the fact that 12 months have now elapsed since Flybe went into administration, so guidance for those who held bookings is now longer required.

I seem to recall it having been offline for a considerable period (in the region of months) already - the use of the existing brand on a website no longer legally required is a little odd surely.

What a fabulous job COW did...and she still manages to be employed...her interview technique is something that should be studied and bottled for vast sums of money.

£684m is absolutely insane for a tiny carrier. Although is that for both incarnations of Flybe? Or just Mk. 2

MkI isn't it

This thread is for Flybe V2. The information in the link is about the original airline which was, as the information states, based in Exeter and folded in Mar 20. I remember it well.

Me

I cannot believe that COW is employed. I can only think there is some secret CEO club that ignores total failure. But there were others in Flybe that were a universe away from reality. Flybe V2 was never going to work and some of the delusion from posters on this site when it got going was troubling. The saddest thing as is that lack of managerial talent puts good people out of work.

Many former crew “raised a glass” last week to mark 4 years since losing their livelihood. Many have not flown since and are a real loss to the industry…

The administrators did indeed sell the brand, apparently to an "individual," which seems even crazier than taking it on for another business attempt.
