Uhtred Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Last FlyBe flight due to touch down is an Edinburgh to Heathrow flight currently in the air and scheduled to land at 22:47. So that’ll be it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember her name but she crippled the company. Wasn't Reynolds, was it.....? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Mexico Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 (edited) 34 minutes ago, Non-Believer said: If as GD4ELI's previous post, Flybe do 50% of IoM flights (am I reading that right?) then it's going to make a hole in the passenger numbers business case for a while anyway? It's only about 40% of passenger numbers (rather than number of flights) but it's still a big hole. Edited to add: More generally Flybe was responsible for 5.4% of all passenger departures in the UK in 2018, but 26.9% of all domestic flights Edited March 4, 2020 by Roger Mexico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Power Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Bugger, I need a late return to the IoM on Wednesday now, travel insurance claim coming up but ne EZY flights at that time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrighty Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I can’t understand why they can’t be profitable. Can’t they just scrap the routes where the average plane has more crew than passengers, and continue those (eg IOM-LPL at 7:00am) where they’re full? I recently flew from here to Milan via Manchester, and the IOM-MAN leg was £450 compared with £250 for MAN-MXP with Ryan. I don’t hear about them going bust so why Flybe? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your flight cost less than £100 you may have protection under the chargeback scheme. Please speak to your debit/credit card provider if you require more details about Section 75 and chargeback. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note that some of its examples involve airline/travel collapses such as Monarch and Thomas Cook. Possible leave it for a couple of days to see what happens with existing bookings. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
