Snow costs Flybe £6m; passengers down 16%
13.01.11
Flybe's passenger numbers were hit by the severe weather in December. It cost the airline around £6m as 1980 flights were cancelled, representing 16% of the planned flying programme and a reduction of 6% over the previous year. Its passenger numbers were also down against forecast by 16%.
Flybe said in a statement that the one-off financial impact of the disruption is estimated at some £6m. This includes loss of revenue on cancelled flights, delay and diversion costs and additional de-icing costs, which were partly offset by savings in variable costs on cancelled flights. Its underlying performance, excluding the weather-related disruption, was in line with its forecast.
