Flybe does not foresee a need to 'go any further' than a codeshare with Etihad

Flybe COO Paul Simmons, during the CAPA Airlines in Transition conference in Dublin, stated (10-Apr-2014) he does not foresee a need to "go any further" than a codeshare with Etihad. Flybe's large operation at Manchester offers broad feed to Etihad, Mr Simmons said, adding: "There is a real benefit" in not participating in alliance "because everyone wants you."
