Flight disruptions 12 September 2007 (AM)

12 September 2007

Update 11:30 12 September 07

After the initial disruption to Flybe’s programme outlined below, we are pleased to report that today’s schedule is now back on track with only minimal delays. Passengers should therefore check in as normal for their flights.

Flybe expects tomorrow’s programme to operate as normal.


Bombardier, the manufacturers of the Q400, one of the types of aircraft operated by Flybe, has this morning recommended all operators of the aircraft to inspect the landing gear on all Q400’s with over 10,000 landings.

This inspection affects six of our Flybe Q400 aircraft. Flybe has 74 aircraft of all types in its fleet.

Flybe has immediately followed this advice and is inspecting the aircraft. We are reviewing options to minimise disruption to today’s flying programme. We have posted details of affected flights as shown below and will continue to update this information throughout the course of today. 

We advise passengers to review this website on a regular basis if they are flying today. If you have any detailed questions, please contact our call centre on 0871 522 6157.
