hi silly question but what aircraft do Flybe use on the route from gatwick to jersey and is that sort of aircraft reliable as i have been hearing a little bit of bad news in regards to their maintenance.

Thanks
Craig

Its a 146-300. They are as reliable as any other 146 really, there was a slightly worrying trend in incidents with FlyBe on both their fleets, but not much more so than any other airline. I've yet to hear of one in the last month or so.

Well they havent been identified as having systematic failures in their maintenance procedures by the AAIB yet, unlike a certain Big Airline.

I believe they are a safe airline, well they must be otherwise they wouldn't have a license to operate. :rolleyes:
However, I believe there may be a concern with the new hand luggage allowance being to heavy for the over head lockers to take...! :confused:

I wouldn't have any concerns and would be more than happy to be fly with them.
