I think that Flybe are dropping some routes as they cannot beat Ryanair prices on some flights , i did not want give Branson my money for a flight to / from Malaga but as they have pulled the flight to Exeter i have to go with another airline. The Conair group have plenty of money so i don't see why the UK should bail them out. That does seem a high air fare to London from Newquay the Flybe ones was going up quite a lot recently much cheaper on the train the flight might be quicker but if you add in getting to the airport + check in time there is not much difference and by train you are in London not Gat.. or Heath.. I can see them selling off more slots as i think that was the plan at he start.
Hi for the reply pom15.
I agree the proposed BA Heathrow - Newquay "summer only deal" seems excessively expensive, and only 5 flights a week opposed to Flybe's 25 flights a week now being switched to Gatwick. I also agree it's cheaper by train, and yes you can factor in times at airports.
I'm comfortable that Rya and Ezj would cover flights to Europe. It's UK inland regional flights I'm particularly interested in.
When Connect put together its rescue package, many pi's were decieved by rampers predicting multi bids for the business. But as it turned out the likes of RYA, EZJ and BA were not interested, nor nor do i believe any of them put be prepared to take over the more marginal inland UK routes. So my question is do we want to keep these routes and what will be the price to pay ?
There's been quite a bit of chat over about Branson wanting the slots, but what needs to be Bourne in mind is that he is only a minority owner of the the Connect group with 30%. Cyrus and STOB are it appears more aligned.
It's worth recalling how STOB structured it's 30% holding of Connect. STOB want flights in and out of Southend. Actually with a
8.61% stake in STOB so do Cyrus.

Hi Gerry , have you bought any shares in ESL ?
Hi Volcano - no trades for me this morning - been to the gym to try and get a few pounds off my weight following my holiday.
I'm thanking my good fortune, that I sold out on BAB, DOM, QLT TSCO, on the Boris bounce post election last Dec, I also sold off my UU shares which has turned out to be a mistake.
Apart from a couple of longer term buy in's - one being BBOX, I've kept most of the above in cash, as I was expecting a fall in the market from March through to July when the commencement of the Brexit talks bought some reality to the table.
That said my long term dividend shares like most are down,but they are parked and I don't need the money so we'll see where we are a few months down the line.
This afternoon I've been looking at those long term shares that are on my watch list and am looking at where they stood at May 16 - FTSE @ 6000
Nov 18 - FTSE @ 6500
Am looking at where i think buy in opportunities exist.
But are today's bargains tomorrows value traps lol.
