There's no need for them to alter the fight times if they're proving profitable as things stand and leisure travellers, which they are in the main, just want to get there and aren't time sensitive. We do need a proper day return to London. Maybe if Stobart's buy Flybe we might get one to Southend, which might work, just, if it's a 06:50am flight. Although we don't have the volume of business anymore, most people will just wait a few hours and take the Easyjet option and the early one will be half empty. London City offers a proper day return, don’t they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's hardly ideal for anyone going further afield via either LGW or LHR, espectially if you have luggage. When the new Elizabeth/Crossrail line from Canary Wharf starts operating it might prove better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither. It’s a BA flight, operated by Logan Air on behalf of BA ( just like Eastern used to do ) and Logan Air have leased in the plane from flybe, so it’s temporarily in flybe livery. Its nothing to do with flybe, doesn’t have a flybe flight number or code to share with BA. Flybe don’t operate IoM to LCY. They operate to/from Jersey to London City Aberdeen to London City Exeter to London City Belfast City to London City Edinburgh to London City Amsterdam to London City Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I travelled on the route about a month ago and it was a Loganair liveried Saab 2000. What Flybe planes are they using as well as this?

dilligaf Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I don’t mind admitting that I may be wrong However when some Flybe planes come in they have 3 lots of flight numbers I thought one of them was BA Sorry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are loads of examples of this kind of thing, and it makes the citywing/euromanx business model of not actually being an airline less weird as everyone is doing it.
