    Response to the Assembly for Wales Enterprise and Business Committee Inquiry into the Future of Welsh Ports and Airports 1. About Flybe 1.1 Flybe welcomes the opportunity to submit a response to the Assembly’s inquiry into the future of Welsh ports and airports. Headquartered in Exeter, Flybe is proudly and determinedly a regional airline and is both Europe’s largest regional airline and the UK’s number one domestic airline. Employing around 3,300 staff, we currently operate 84 aircraft on 211 routes from 36 UK and 62 European airports (all routes on sale Jan ’12-Oct’12) in 18 countries and carried more than 7 million passengers in 2011. CAA statistics show that, during 2011, Flybe was responsible for 120,383 air movements, nearly 13% of the total for the UK. This made us the third largest airline in terms of departures from UK airports, behind only British Airways and Easyjet. 1.2 Flybe has established a comprehensive regional route network and our spread of airports is intended to offer customers a convenient point-to-point network operating from regional airports which are a preferable alternative to having to travel to more distant major hub airports. In addition, the domestic route network does not attempt to compete with surface transport where alternative road or rail options give journey times of three hours or less. As such, and because we offer three times more domestic routes than our nearest competitor, Flybe can legitimately claim to understand the needs of the UK’s regions better than any other airline.

  • Open Letter to the Deputies of the States of Guernsey 6
    Open letter to the Deputies of the States of Guernsey 6 July 2018 Dear Guernsey Deputies Review of Air Transport Licensing (P.2018/62) The proposed Review of Air Transport Licensing (P.2018/62, “the Review”) put forward for consideration in the States of Deliberation at its July 2018 meeting by the Committee for Economic Development (“the Committee”) represents a significant shift in the Guernsey air transport environment. Blue Islands has highlighted to the Committee, both in writing and in person, that there are huge risks associated with such an approach. Deputy Dudley-Owen is quoted in the Guernsey Press (22 June) as stating “it is hoped this approach will facilitate new route development”. It is of deep concern to Blue Islands that a fundamental change in policy on a subject of such great importance as connectivity should be based on hope alone. Blue Islands is grateful for the opportunity to discuss our concerns with the Committee, though this engagement has only confirmed that there has been no meaningful, quantifiable analysis of the proposed move and no scenario planning and “hope” appears to be the only basis. Having now exhausted all avenues available to us to prevent what would be, in Blue Islands’ view, a potentially disastrous change in policy, we now write to all deputies in the hope that our perspective may assist the States of Deliberation in their appraisal of the Review. The main aims of scheduled air services In addition to affording Aurigny enhanced protection on the London Gatwick route, the existing Air Transport Licencing Law 1995 Policy Statement (“Policy Statement”) of 2013 outlines 7 main aims in respect of Scheduled Air Services.

  • CICRA Media Release 10 January 2014 CICRA Agrees to Aurigny And
    CICRA media release 10 January 2014 CICRA agrees to Aurigny and Blue Islands codeshare between the islands CICRA (the Channel Islands Competition and Regulatory Authorities) has agreed to allow Aurigny and Blue Islands to codeshare on the Guernsey-Jersey route after the airlines applied for an exemption under the islands’ competition laws. Having taken into account responses to CICRA’s consultation on the issue, the competition authority has granted the exemption providing certain conditions are observed by the airlines. Under the codeshare agreement, which will run initially for two years, Aurigny will take a fixed block of seats on flights operated by Blue Islands between Guernsey and Jersey using the 46-seat ATR42 aircraft, with ground support at the airports in both islands for those flights provided by Aurigny. Aurigny will pay Blue Islands a fixed charge for the seats. CICRA chief executive, Andrew Riseley, said that the authority had ultimately concluded that the interests of customers would be best-served by allowing the airlines to codeshare. “In the absence of the codeshare agreement both airlines contended that competition on the Jersey-Guernsey would shortly disappear. On balance our judgement is that the best means of protecting customers is to ensure that competition on the route remains as vigorous as possible and the conditions we have set for agreeing this exemption should achieve this.” As well as stipulating that any changes to Aurigny’s obligation to take a fixed block of seats for each flight must be approved separately
