Flybe alters E-Jet and Q400 deals
Flybe will now take only 15 Bombardier Q400s from Republic Airways, down from the 24 originally agreed, and it has deferred delivery of 4 Embraer E175s. In 2014, Flybe agreed to sublease 24 former Republic Q400s over the 2015-19 period. In return, Republic took over 20 E175s from Flybe’s order of 24 of the type. This left Flybe with 4 remaining E175s on order, but it has negotiated a 12-month deferral on these aircraft. “These will now be delivered in January-April 2019,” Flybe said. Flybe is also in negotiations with Danish regional aircraft lessor Nordic Aviation Capital to cancel its lease obligations on 9 of the 24 former Republic Q400s. Flybe has already received 5 of them and has delayed delivery of a further 5 from 2015-16 to 2016-17. <br/>
