General information
Founded as "Jersey European Airways", the company started operating back in 1979
already.
The company is one
of Europe's most well known low cost airlines, it has a fleet of over 40
aircraft and 80 destinations are served throughout the continent.
The name "Flybe" is
rather new, it appeared in summer 2002, when the airline repositioned itself and
decided to aim at the budget air travel segment exclusively. It was then when we
can say, Flybe has become a low cost airline.
