Well if they are struggling with short haul, can't see how they would ever be succesful Andrew at long haul. Would most likely bankrupt them. What sort of routes do you think would be successful then? USA? India? Middle East?

Flybe will never operate long haul. They are a 80 seater regional airline.

Dash-8 Neo LR varient?

Flybe seemed to have dropped the last inbound Belfast on Monday and Tuesday in winter and the last inbound Glasgow throughout winter. I couldn't find any jets on domestic in the week but 6 out 7 Amsterdam flights are on the 175, along with 3 CDG flights both STR flights, one Berlin MXP and LYS (14 flights on 4 aircraft is good utilisation).

Also showing 4 AMS and 4 EDI on a Saturday which is good

Hanover still showing only 5 a week but Hamburg appears to be 6 a week.

Flybe starting long haul?

About as much chance as an unknown Icelandic airline starting three transatlantic bases with aircraft that they do not have yet

Financial update courtesy of a poster on airliners.net:

· 6.4% increase in group revenue to £752.6m (2016/17: £707.4m).

· Loss before tax improved to £9.4m (2016/17: restated to £48.5m) including £11.1m of non-cash revaluation gains on USD aircraft loans (2016/17: losses of £13.2m).

· Adjusted loss before tax1 increased to £19.2m (2016/17: £6.7m loss).

· 4.3% increase in EBITDAR2 to £140.0m (2016/17: restated to £134.2m).

· Net assets of £93.1m (31st March 2017: £124.9m restated to include the £28.6m impact of an Embraer E195 onerous lease provision and related impairment of maintenance assets).

· Net debt (which is all asset backed) decreased to £59.1m (31st March 2017: £64.0m).

Net assets £93.1 million - does this mean the entire airline is worth less than a single A321neo?

Possibly if they lease. Depends on the lease.

I believe all the E jets are leased and they had plans to get at least half their Q400s owned so that would be roughly 27 aircraft owned if they have achieved their goal.

Another new livery.

Picture from Flybe Twitter.

 

[thunderchild]

A big improvement on the last one. They could have made the Flybe logo at the front a bit bigger though.

 

[GliderPilot]

Ran out of purple so they went halfs

I've seen a photo online in which the logo is bigger on the other side but i don't know if it's photo shopped or not.

 

[Brum X]

I like it

 

[GliderPilot]

I half agree that the Flybe logo should be bigger, personally, I think it would look better over the windows behind the door, but I'd like to see it in the flesh before I finalise that opinion.

 

[Ianbutty]

Looks smart. Hopefully they will quickly change all their aircraft.

 

[Rob c DSA]

The Flybe logo should be bigger, personally I think it is barmy changing the livery Flybe aren't exactly flush with money they never managed to change the livery on half the aircraft last time.

 

[58terminus]

Looks smart. Hopefully they will quickly change all their aircraft.

Hopefully but i would reckon it will be for the aircraft still in the old mainly white livery.
The purple aircraft will i suspect stay that way.FLYBE (or many other airlines for that matter) do not
have the money to spare to repaint aircraft every couple of years.

The new livery will be rolled out across the fleet over the next 6 years. The new E jets will arrive with it, the aircraft in the former white and blue will be the first to be repainted so that's the E jets and the white Q400s and then the Q400s that have been purple the longest. The repaints will be done when the aircraft go in for scheduled maintenance.
