Pressure building....
Games being played with the bid on no trades, to trigger stops or shake weak holders.

Going up shortly. Watch and see.

She's going to blow very soon

[mreasygoing] 17/10/2017 13:47

Watch for volume. We need to see some heavy volume first, then we'll get the break out. It's just a matter of time.

[toffeeman] 17/10/2017 13:32

As long as it holds above 41 I am content for now.

I'm enjoying today too, FLYB doing well.

[mreasygoing] 13/10/2017 14:28

Need more volume. If you believe in it buy more. Your only regret will be that you didn't buy more.

[europa79] 13/10/2017 14:28

Spot on net, and I'm sure it will get back there....eventually!

[netcurtains] 13/10/2017 13:57

Hi s34icknote: If only I held JPR a bit longer!!! Arghhh.. Anyway FLYBE doing great guns. But still needs to go above 60p before we can say its sort of recovered.

Anything below 60p is saying its more or less worthless.
We need to get another 50% rise before we're home and free and look forward to the 80s and 90s.

Cheers Net.

There’s a solution to the airport capacity problem in the UK, and it isn’t Heathrow

The call for evidence to form a new aviation strategy for the UK closes today.

We live in hope, but the UK hasn’t had a proper strategy for 50 years.

While the need for more capacity grows, and Heathrow and Gatwick become full to bursting, successive governments have dithered over a decision on a third runway. We have allowed the entire future of a vital national industry to be held hostage by votes in marginal constituencies.

Read more: This London airport is plotting for expansion with terminal extension plans

If – and it’s a big if – we do get a third runway, it will be years before passengers feel the benefit. Unless we do something, they will keep piling into our two biggest airports with delays and service getting worse.

The good news is there is a solution to the UK’s capacity problem. There is spare capacity in airports all across the UK. For example, at London Southend Airport, we help over one million passengers fly away on their holidays each year – but we could and plan to accommodate 10 times that number. Other airports across the UK have similar ambitions, but we need government support.

There are three simple ways the government can help free up the capacity.

First, through the taxation system with the most obvious example, Air Passenger Duty.

Unlike the big airports and airlines, I do not think this should be abolished altogether. Rather, it should be removed from smaller airports to encourage airlines to base more flights at them. This approach has the advantage of not blowing a hole in the chancellor’s budget.

Second, streamline the planning system. Airports like London Southend don’t have the resources of Heathrow, and applying for planning consent to improve our terminals is a time-consuming and extremely expensive activity.

Finally, the government needs to support investment in connecting infrastructure. With better rail and road connections to smaller airports across the country, passengers could more easily choose alternatives to Heathrow and Gatwick. In the case of London Southend Airport, this means the development of a much-improved rail connection, and an upgraded A127 road link to the M25.

Growing the capacity and improving transport infrastructure at smaller airports can deliver a wider economic benefit than just happier travellers. It can also help develop these areas. A recently published US study found that an increase in the number of destinations served with non-stop flights from an airport has a strong impact on the level of employment, number of business establishments, and average wage in the airport’s region.

The government must see that utilisation of existing airport capacity should be encouraged in the short term, not least because the construction of new runway capacity, especially in the South East, is at least improbable in the next decade.

Over the past 20 years, air travel through London’s airports has grown at a compound annual growth rate of five per cent. With a rising population, it is difficult to see how that long term trend will change. We must act now.





Flybe announces new service from Dublin to London Southend


Flybe announces Manchester route from Southend airport



Towards the end of this month Ryanair will launch two new routes to Madrid and Krakow, while Flybe will introduce its new London Southend service, operating up to six times per week. Lufthansa will also launch its new four-per-week service to Munich at the end of October.

43 paid.... going up!

Absolutely Concur D1NGA. The only reason I don't (and cant trade/hold these) is because i just can't call it. Nothing i would love more then to just buy hold and forget. But that comes with an opportunity cost since i move money around alot. These have been on my watch list since 2012 and i swear once sentiment improves here and the future really does start looking brighter they will absolutely take off. But until then i keep watching.. Ive made the Sumbrugh to Aberdeen/Edinburgh flight dozens of times over the years and seldom have any problems with Flybe. But the sea dog in me prefer to get the over night ferry... Just something about being out at sea.
