Quick thinking from Flybe has helped it deal with the fall out from the Paris terrorist attacks.
The carrier said it temporarily lowered its seat capacity growth in response to the events last November, which helped mitigate the lower load factors. Passenger numbers and revenue were in line with the fourth quarter in the same period last year.
In the trading statement for the three months to the end of March, the airline also said that it had taken ownership of three Bombardier Q400 aircraft at a cost of $34 million. Flybe said this was in line with its strategy of owning more aircraft outright.
