they want local auth, councils to keep flybe \ virgin connect in the southwest. But the ceo is moving to exeter ive been told, so what does that tell you!?

That it's easy to move a about? If someone came up with the right offer especially if it meant moving to London then I'm sure Virgin Connect would be interested.

That tells us absolutely nothing! I expect the CEO is probably taking up temporary accommodation/apartment to be near the current HQ, as is so often the case in similar situations....

The 737 simulator is owned by a ex TUI pilot. He has rented space from Flybe.

I saw a tweet from flybe to a Manchester passenger and they just said that it would be sometime before the end of November - who really knows though?

Looks like exeter down to3 dash8, looking on skyscanner there is early morning flights to manchester, guen\ jer, london city. No early paris , the only paris flight showing depts at 10.30 am and 1355 . Other noted only 3 xmanchester dailey, only on amsterdam. But!!! The edinburgh flight one dailey says ops by stobart so thats got to be the emb190 jet. If skyscanner are right looks like cuts, thats not what exeter airport are saying in their new pre 2020 leaflet. Their saying 2x dailey paris, upto 2x dailey amsterdam and upto 4x manchester. So i hope skyscanners are not right

I've 'liked' the posts not because EXT has lost a based aircraft but for the information. Thanks.

Hope there will be more in the second round tba soon. Paris was the best supported route with 12,000 plus a mounth, 13 weekly so why cut it to 7 weekly.

Not making enough money? Can use the aircraft elsewhere to make more money? Guess only Flybe knows.

CAA stats show these monthly figures for the Exeter-Paris CDG route in 2019 thus far. I've included the percentage gain each month over the corresponding month in 2018. I presume that the frequency was increased in 2019 over 2018.

Big announcment on 6th jan, second wave. Plus future plans. Dont think exeter will see anything, now down to 3x dash8 and the sheds still see a gap in evenings, but cant see them filling it. Flybe seem to be expanding newquay not exeter, newquay now up to 2x based, and more routes tba.

 

[Jerry]

Seen something about an announcement on another forum suggesting that the back office at Exeter may be closed or at least downsized?

 

[Flybeboy]

Yep and more!!!!
