FlyBe commence LGW-ABZ (Aberdeen)

If they are going to hotac crew which base will they be from? As by looking at the timetable BE doesn’t appear to have an LGW base

I would think that LBA-ABZ would probably work much better with 2 flights a day, morning and afternoon. The EXT-LBA-ABZ flights struggled on the ABZ leg somewhat, but probably alot due to the timings of the once daily flights.

I hope that they do consider keeping / relaunching Leeds to Aberdeen flights, as since it launched 16 months ago, I have used this route 7 times. I would much prefer to pay £59.98 return with FlyBE 🙂 than £205 return with Eastern Airways 😮 .

Also looking at ABZ to (in next 12mths):

NCL, LBA, MAN, NWI & “key european business centres”.

Per Mike Rutter, hopes to have the LGW route act as a “bridgehead” to further development at Dyce.

LGW will involve a nightstop at ABZ with the E95.

Seems strange that after looking to drop LBA to launch EXT-ABZ-INV-EXT, that they would look to relaunch flights…perhaps looking to operate more business-friendly schedule.

Also looks like the much-threatened attack on T3 at ABZ, given T3 also fly to NCL, LBA & NWI, & flybe have already announced a competing direct SOU route also.

Interesting to see what euro routes they would look at…yet more Stavanger maybe!!

Also all these routes may add up to a base IF their plans come to full fruition.

Thats a good move by Flybe wonder if they have plans to expand from LGW?
