There was a thread in R&N but it's gone (probably to JB) this is the main FlyBe thread in AA&R http://www.pprune.org/forums/showthr...289970&page=31
Basically, they were just short of a penalty clause with Norwich. Other carriers have done similar things in the past but it was a bad idea in the current state of things. Looks like 50:50 to the airport development company and the carrier.

More hear:

"Flybe says it will pay to offset the carbon emissions caused by today's extra flights."
Surely the correct thing if they have any environmental concerns is not to undertake the additional flights in the first but to sit down with Norwich Airport and reach an adult like compromise.
I believe some of the additional capacity may have been created by chartering in a 737 from Stansted creating additional sectors due positioning.
GP.

I recall BMI doing domestic ghost flights last year just to keep slots in LHR.
Surely these companies have public relations people who should go on environmental awareness courses before the world explodes!
