Flybe’s total capacity is set to drop by 4.9 percent to 14.1 million available seats in 2018
The total number of available seats on offer in November 2018 is the lowest since 2014 (due to restructure?)
The capacity cuts come as the airline continues its fleet reduction programme and ends non-profitable routes. Flybe is cutting its fleet size to an “optimum level” of 70 aircraft by early 2020
Flybe is set to retain its position as the largest provider of domestic services in the UK during 2018. (Brixit or no Brexit this is valuable)
According to OAG Schedules Analyser data, it will operate 121,361 domestic flights this year, which is more than easyJet and British Airways combined. (WOW)
However, in terms of frequency share, the airline accounts for more than half the number of flights at ten of the 33 airports. At four of those - Anglesey, Southampton, Exeter and Belfast George Best City - it accounts for more than 80 percent of all departures.
Speaking earlier this month when Flybe published its first-half financial results, chief executive Christine Ourmières-Widener said the airline was "reviewing every aspect" of its business, especially further capacity reduction, cash management and cost savings.
She added: "This is already starting to have a positive impact, as shown by the improved first half adjusted profit before tax; however, we must do more in the coming months. We remain confident in the vital role that Flybe plays in UK connectivity."
(Worth under £50 million - your having a laugh!!)
