Flybe

That's an unknown at this time.

Why would you remove the already very well established Flybe name!

Well eventually the Flybe name will be removed as it will fly under the Virgin Atlantic banner but i think Flybe ltd will remain as Flybe under Connect Airways. The same with Stobart Air that will operate under Connect Airways as well.

Well established but with an expectation.

Seen complaints on social media about delays, cancellations, lost bags, etc much more frequently (especially delays) for Flybe than any other airline.

Virgin will most likely want to move away from that image as soon as possible...

Changing the name is one thing but does not solve the working practices of ground handling staff. Even trying may upset union attitudes.

There are some broad parallels from the past.

The almost iconic name Britannia Airways was changed to Thomsonfly, later Thomson Airways after Thomson Holidays' merger with First Choice, and now it's TUI Airways. Air 2000 eventually became First Choice Airways to reflect its parent company First Choice Holidays Plc.

What became of British Airtours and the other Airtours? One loses track sometimes.

Correct me if I’m wrong but I think airtours became mytravel and then became Thomas cook hence the MT flight code

British Airtours became Caledonian and then just merged back into BA

I still remember the summer friday Caledonian L1011 Tristar that used to depart to Mahon on the spanish island of Menorca

Thank you Brum X.

Used to be my favourite plane the L1011. Very stylish.

 

[JENNYJET]

I much preferred the DC-10, prettier than the L1011 but when in military grey I loved it.

That’s bad news, but a relief as far as EDITED is concerned.

 

[BHX492]

Let just hope the deal goes through with virgin and stobart

Check your facts before posts like this.Not difficult

There remains the possibility of contagion, other small operators may panic or lose the support of passengers or more likely the banks.
