Flybe Group: "The economic environment continues to be challenging, and any airline has risks and uncertainties. But the turnaround of Flybe is gaining momentum and the initial two phases are already delivering significant savings. The further immediate actions announced today will incur significant transitional costs, but also deliver a full payback over the next two years. The Board is confident that these initiatives will put the group on a firm foundation for performance improvement and future growth," Source: Company statement, 11-Nov-2013.
