Under insolvency law, airlines continuing to operate that use the Flybe brand will quickly remove anything "Flybe" from the aircraft etc. That's what Condor did when Thomas Cook went under.

How have the ANR loads been recently? Surprised as SEN enjoys a monopoly with LCY-ANR on VLM gone which was 3 or 4 times daily, IIRC.

Why can't they simply let the train continue to Victoria just two stations down the line (and in doing so, have some more punters going to/from Southend onboard)?

Well, if BA is "warm" but not "hot", it appears as if Aer Lingus could be the culprit - an IAG-owned brand, already used by Stobart elsewhere. We shall see.

But hasn't BA cut back franchising its brand to other airlines significantly in the past? They used to have BMED, GB Air, Loganair in the past, for a long time it has been just Comair and Sun Air.
