Flybe

[Jerry]

Similarly to MAN, BHX to BOD is showing on the FLYBE search engine from 26MAR17, but currently not able to select non-stop flights.

Could be something.

Could be part of the codeshare agreement they have with Air France.

 

[Ray Finkle]

Flybe have served Bordeaux from Birmingham for a while?

It's still fully bookable for me at 5x weekly from 26th March?

 

[ethanegcc]

Oh, on a second check it is. I didn't check properly.

 

[Coathanger16]

Indeed they have. I flew to Bordeaux with Flybe from Birmingham last summer (2015).

Ray that's between 60 and 63 return flights a day on a par or 1 or 2 above this summer which is good ...however they now have 2 daily Rotterdam slots they could fill....maybe new Irish routes ??

 

[IanFarquharson]

BHX will loose E17's from S17 as they are going to Southend to start a load of new Stobart routes from there,

BHX will get two Dash 8's to replace the jets !

[Paulsstrange]

No real loss of capacity to be fair..

 

[Ray Finkle]

It gets more and more bizarre.......

.....is that car park located near Southend OR Heathrow .....

 

[nwoody2001]

so what is the base looking like next year with regard to aircraft mix?

 

[Paulsstrange]

Think it's 9 props and 4 jets....but somethings telling me if Rotterdam is replaced a 14th based is required...

 

[Daza]

Birmingham-Newquay will be 8x a week in summer 2017 twice on Sunday and then increase to 9x a week with the addition of a second Saturday flight in July and August every little helps.

To add to my post above there are several other increases from Flybe @ BHX in summer 2017 BOD now daily, NTE now 5 a week, BIQ now 3 weekly in peak summer and NOC daily May-Sept. Some very odd timings for some flights, so more changes to come I think.

Finnair is extending its network throughout the United Kingdom with new codeshare services on Flybe flights between several European cities and the UK. Finnair’s codes will be added to the below Flybe services when a Finnair flight is also included in the booking.

Paris – Cardiff/Doncaster-Sheffield/Birmingham/Southampton
Düsseldorf – Birmingham
Düsseldorf – Birmingham/Southampton
Amsterdam – Birmingham/Southampton/Doncaster-Sheffield
Berlin – Birmingham

That's a lot of Finnair flight numbers for BHX for an airport that doesn't have a finnair route lol

 

[ethanegcc]

It is a bit of a detour to go BHX-CDG/TXL-HEL? Surely they won't get many passengers doing BHX-CDG-HEL-Asia if that is the logic and Helsinki is not a large market as far as origin and destination traffic goes, so not sure of the point of this. Unless it is Finnair seeing how new UK markets could work, as they have previously said they wish to.
