It has the EU energy label near the door. Is this for real, or it's just marketing? What did they take into account for rating it 'B'?

Flybe document their reasoning online and all the figures are avaliable also so you can critique their methodology etc.

Quite an interesting page. The PDF link at the very end of the page should also not be missed, as it gives examples of labels for various aircraft. Gimmick or not, it does actually let you see and understand the various impacts your aircraft journey could have, such as noise and CO2 emissions and how it relates to other aircraft types. This is interesting enough on it's own, whatever you might think about the wider environment debate.

Best regards,

Jim

Erm, is this thing on?

What I like about the scheme is that all the figures that they have used to reach the B grade for the Embraer & A for the Q400 are avaliable to anyone who wants to question their reliability, comparisons used, or methodology. I like Flybe, mostly for reasons like this, for a budget airline they seem more customer orientated and open to me, and I fly mostly with them largely due to that.
