Flybe Advertising

[spermann]

It is interesting that in recent months Flybe have been taking our full page advertising in the national press including the broadsheets. When they list their destinations from the IOM (dont know about the others) they have dropped a few of them off. In this weekends Gaurdian on the IOM list they have only shown 4 destinations and they have dropped off our vital business connection; Gatwick.

 

Surely when they have paid for the space of a full page add then they may as well have listed all the current destinations? - there is bags of room!

 

Or could this be an early indication that they intend to drop a few routes...?

not when there is a big £29.99 inc taxes above it, as a rule airlines advertise their weakest routes at low prices as they have spare capacity (advanced bookings are weak) and want to fill the planes, high yielding routes like gatwick are sold without the low fares.

they have just listed record profits, they have to find the money from somewhere!

 

the lack of Geneva and Newquay etc will probably be for the same reason as they are once a week flights that done form part of their core schedule.

Just hopped onto Flybe's site and picked up Manchester <=> Rainy Rock return in Oct/Nov for 78 quid. S'not bad, can hardly wait.
