Just a few weeks ago, the regional airline Flybe took to the skies again. The company now has to cancel around 2022 flights up to and including October 700. The company justifies the measure by saying that the aircraft required for this can only be taken over with a delay.

According to a report by The Scotsman, the routes are between Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverness and Belfast City and Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Birmingham. affected. Aberdeen and Inverness to Belfast flights were due to commence on 26 August 2022, with Aberdeen to Birmingham flights on 18 August 2022. These have been provisionally cancelled.

A Flybe spokesman said: "Due to delays in scheduled aircraft deliveries by our two aircraft leasing companies, we have had to make the difficult decision to scale back scheduled increases to our summer schedule over the period 28 July to 29 October, which is what leads to flight cancellations. We have made every effort to get in touch with those affected and will do everything within our power to re-accommodate our customers on the next available Flybe flight or, if this is not possible, to give them a full refund. "

According to company boss Dave Pfleger, the lessors would have informed them that the additional aircraft could not be handed over in the summer of 2022. You will only get them after the summer. Therefore, two aircraft were taken to the ACMI. One is operated by a Greek airline and the other by a Spanish one. However, the capacity is still not sufficient to be able to serve the flight plan as originally announced.
