Flybe

[A400]

What do you think of this livery that has popped up on G-JECX for Flybe 2?

The livery’s crap! The livery with full purple and white writing was much better and coulerful.

A brand can be successful for all the wrong reasons. Airlines such as Ryanair is a perfect example of this where many customers despise the airline but the airline remains successful. Equally British Airways to some extent having largely pulled out of the regions with customer service more reminiscent of some low-cost carriers but they continue to remain successful and iconic. Arguably, Flybe and airlines like Monarch and Thomas Cook were equally successful brands that could easily work again even if at the time they didn't.

Whatever the livery, if an airline isn’t run properly and doesn’t have the routes that attract passengers then inevitably it will fail. Doubt many passengers book based on how an aircraft looks!

I quite like this new livery but wonder if the original brand was tarnished too much to have any chance of success in its reincarnated form. Management clearly think it can. Perhaps LBA should hope for a reincarnation of something predominantly white with red and yellow along with black titles! If only they were still around today! But times move on and we still have a worsening pandemic to get out of so I for one am grateful for what is currently operating at LBA

I presume this Pheonix Flybe has paid all it's debts with whatever cash injection they've got from wherever and will be starting with a clean slate. Silly me, things don't happen that way do they.

Starting all over again with no debt and probably with a new boss. What a great wheeze someone thought. What can go wrong??? They must think the name will be held in high regard. By whom I would ask. I can't see it I'm afraid.

Did they collapse owing LBA any money I wonder?

The new legal entity that is Flybe Ltd. purchased the old company and its assets from the Administrator. In all likelihood the debts of the old airline remain with the Administrator to pay off from the proceeds of the sale, although it’s highly likely the creditors will get back only a small part of what they’re owed.

If anything considering the size of the debts when they went under.

Flybe have appointed turnaround expert Dave pflieger as chief executive ahead of the relaunch

 

[AirBingley]

Flybe are to commence operations at Birmingham using an all DH8 fleet with routes to be announced later. The website and branding appear to be the same as before! There will be other bases so I wonder if they take a punt on LBA?

 

[Seasider]

I very much doubt it. I would imagine that they will build up slowly at BHX and in a couple of years may branch out to other airports.

 

[LBA4EVER]

Not without a new lba terminal! (going to hide) lba and w.yorks is certainly crying out for an operator like flybe though

 

[IanFarquharson]

BHX first then maybe MAN, BHD, SOU is the rumour !

 

[White Heather]

Sounds typical. Same old, same old. I doubt we will see them at LBA despite the obvious potential.

Agreed they have lots of potential here. I’m thinking a London route would be good. And also something to Scotland. Aberdeen or Inverness.

if they were to fly further afield then maybe Düsseldorf back would be good as there’s nothing to Germany from LBA apart from Jet2s Christmas flights.

 

[Finger66]

Lots of posts on the other forum suggesting why would Mark2work when it’s basically looking at the same as MarkI1. However BHX to Scotland were profitable but that now depends on how much of the market U2 have gobbled up. An untapped LBA market offers far more potential

 

[Bigman]

I reckon the best we can hope for is a Southampton or Exeter. They will not be bothered about this place unless they see it as a useful route from Southern bases.

 

[A400]

Some German routes would be good!

 

[tonysmith]

Add all the routes to All of your Xmas dream lists (sorry wish list) lol

 

[Aviador]

Yes it's that time of year once again when we can all start dreaming of what will never happen the following year. Does somebody want to start a new thread? "2021-2 LBA Christmas Wish List"

For Flybe LBA (if it ever did happen) Routes I would like to see: ABZ, IOM (1/2 weekly tops), BHD (still think there is potential for more seats in this market), SOU/EXT, LCY/LHR (if on a code share) BRU, DUS & CDG. non look likely, but we can hope. so much potential for a strong European city flights from LBA
