Reported that Flybe will commence flights to LHR from EDI (and from ABZ) from next March using Little Red slots.

On Prune someone suggested they heard that Flybe will possibly use Q400s for the EDI and ABZ LHR routes.

A Flybe Dash 8-Q400 aircraft operating service BE1284 from Edinburgh has crash landed on arrival at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport this afternoon. Looks like the right-hand main under carriage has failed on landing, good news is that everyone onboard the aircraft is counted for and out safe and well.

I wonder if Flybe have the spare capacity to launch an EDI-STN route? Bill it as rescue flights! Even if they wet leased for the first couple of weeks until their aircraft can take over. It'll be one to watch!

Flybe chief is not happy with the service the airline is getting from Edinburgh airport she says it's too obsessed with long haul airlines. Also mentions they want to add a 5th Heathrow flight but charges are to high.
