Embraer E-195 Unless the E-195 are disposed of very soon, they'll have to be given away, imo. About half of the units in service seem to be with one Brazilian airline, while very few are now being bought. Embraer has only 7 units on firm order, as shown in the "orders and deliveries" section of this Wiki page:[link]

Re: clearly leaked! I'm glad I chose to "watch" this one. Down 45% since I put it there little over a week ago!MFX - I bailed out some time ago. I wasn't convinced that they can gain any genuine traction. I'm aware they are diversifying but the IOM economy isn't good (at all) and I think that will feed through in their numbers.

Re: clearly leaked! stick to MFX mate or LPA ( far too cheap) or MLIN.Avoid this as they will want another rights later this or early next year in my opiniontiger

Re: Fuel Hedging Most are in the same situation.They will unwind in due course.Its the main reason you have seen Bottle gas not fall in price in stores and only small reductions in gas to customers .People buy ahead.You are only in trouble if one of your competitors doesn't!tiger

Re: clearly leaked! That's a very long answer but......1) Buy rather than lease2) Work them to death ( 20 plus hours a day)3) Have a vast range of add on extrasWhy did you think Stellios had a go at management at EZY.Its no different to running a new car v a 5 year old.New aircraft win on fuel efficiency but that advantage is dropping fast.tiger

Re: Unexciting trading update It's good to see the Inverness route go as they will now get more customers through Edinburgh and Glasgow, making them a lot more profitable, plus we are told they will have 10 more routesin operation over the next year. which in turn will increase turnover, Better to address all the problems as soon as possible, then it gives the company a chance to move forward.You have to remember this company is not about just air travel, they also have maintenance contracts with the MOD, so it's not a only a one trick pony.Must be a good hold for now. as slowly they getting rid of the dead wood which is holding tis company back.

Fuel Hedging They should have put some kind of hardship clause or extreme price change % in the fuel hedging contracts so either side had the right to go back and negotiate. Doesn't make sense to have a contract that makes you noncompetitive for a long period against your fellow airlines.

Re: Unexciting trading update <b>Flybe loses a quarter of its value after disappointing updateAirline says it will only break even for year and oil price fall will not benefit business</b>Guardian 26/Jan/2015<img src="[link] grounded after saying it will only break even this yearThe airline world may be concentrating on International Airline Group’s attempt to buy Aer Lingus, but there is also time to note a disappointing update from Flybe.The budget airline’s shares have lost nearly a quarter of their value - down 21.75p at 68.25p - after it said it would only break even in the full year after a fall in third quarter passenger revenue. After moving into profit last year, the airline had already moved back into the red in the first half due to one off costs and a charge relating to ending its Finnish joint venture.Now it says passenger revenues dropped 3.8% to £126.8m in the three months to December, after increased competition on its routes from London City Airport. It said:We believe that this competitive pressure will extend the period of time that these routes take to reach maturity and deliver the full contribution we expect.It also said the recent plunge in the oil price would have no beneficial on its 2015 figures and minimal impact on 2016 “given our hedging profile on both fuel and the US dollar.” But it said continued lower oil prices could give it flexibility to cut fares if it seemed commercially necessary.It said it was still seeking to dispose of nine unwanted Embraer E195 aircraft (known as project Blackbird) which cost around £26m a year. It plans to use five of them on selected routes this summer but is still looking for a permanent solution for these aircraft.Despite the problems chief executive Saad Hammad said:Flybe’s improvement in its core Uk business continues to progress. Only a year into our three year transformation we now have a platform which enables us to compete in a tough environment where the consumer demands value. We are now well positioned to continue our positive momentum towards delivering sustained profitability and value to shareholders.

Re: clearly leaked! "you cannot fly new leased aircraft and make a profit.If you buy the depreciation wipes profit out."So how are other airlines doing it?
