This is not a question regarding a new frequency, and I hope it's not a cancelled frequency question either..
Does anyone know when flybe publishes their timetables and/or how far out they go? I'm looking at HEL-KOK for around xmas, but they only have flights in the system until the penultimate week in October. Same dates for HEL-KAJ, so I assume it's an overall timing issue.
On the other hand, Finnair-operated domestic flights (e.g. to KAO) are already bookable for the beginning of 2014.
Thanks!

Couple of new returns HEL-KUO since April fools, but still a very aggravating situation for business travelers: 7:30 KUO-HEL and 16:50 HEL-KUO sold out day after day after SAS gave up.
These routes used to be flown with 320:s or 321:s in good old days, but now only with lousy FlyBe ATR:s!
Norwegian, please come and help us...

EDIT: I was wrong. At least Czech Airlines flies PRG-GOJ.

There might be other reasons, but we are all aware of the lack of aircraft at Finnair. It seems a good way of increasing the utilization. OTOH, Ekaterinburg flights have been operating for a while on this timings.
