Flybe

Exeter, United Kingdom

The largest regional airline in Europe, operating a mix of Dash-8-Q400 and Embraer Regional jets.

The network focusses on domestic services, combined with international routes from the UK.

Flybe

"Europe's leading regional airline"


Europe is a very difficult environment for regional airlines due to high infrastructure costs, taxes and fierce competition by LCC's on the scarce capacity.

Flybe has managed to maintain a comprehensive network offer for the UK domestic market, while it finds itself under continuous pressure to keep optimizing this.

Schedule Consult was invited to assist in sorting out this challenge together with the Flybe team.
