I flew INV - LGW with flybe.
They have changed the aircraft from an Emb 195 to an EMb 175 and reduced frequency to only two flights a day from three.
Available seats have dropped from 354 a day to 186 a day...
Yet there were only 55 of us on board... This was on a Monday 17.00 flight.
Six bases to shut 500 staff to go including around 170 flight deck.
Flybe have a modern fleet of emb 175/195 and DHC8-400s

It's difficult to see a way forward for Alitalia with this weeks news that Vueling and Ryanair are to hugely increase their presence at FCO. They both have some of the lowest cost bases of any airline, and are sure to trigger a price war on Alitalia's home patch.

Every time they get into a spot of bother they slice and chop schedule...

Just seen this, it would appear the cash is running out... again.

Looks like Cyprus Airways are trying to sell a slot at LHR.

A minor player, but it will be sad if it goes...

Looks like it's decision time for one EU carrier...

EU just ordered Cyprus Airways to pay back the state aid. Government has indicated they will suspend operations immediately.
