Flybe in talks with Airbus and Boeing

UK-based low-cost carrier Flybe is in talks with aircraft manufacturers Airbus and Boeing over an order for 12 new aircraft.

The airline’s managing director Jim French said that Flybe was looking to acquire between 9 and 12 150-seat aircraft to expand its services and will have made a decision by March 2005. The new aircraft order would come on top of an USD818m order for turboprop aircraft with Canada-based regional aircraft manufacturer Bombardier.

Flybe has turned itself into a profitable low-cost carrier after nearly going out of business following the airline industry slump that came after 9/11 terrorist attacks, reports Reuters.

In the past three quarters, Boeing has struggled with labor and parts shortages and extensive rework on its updated 737 jet in its bid to double production in 18 months, even as it continues to win orders in competition with Europe’s Airbus Industrie. The company said it will be three to six more months before it can tell if the production problems are under control.
