Taken a hammering today - it doesn't take a lot of buys or sells to move the share price in either direction, so it's a pretty turbulent ride with this!

When you think it was 89p yesterday its quite a drop.

Moving back up now a hammer bottom today.

That's spooky mitzy, I was just about to post something similar here, you beat me to it!

lol.

Looks ready for the next move up.

Announced on 30th August:


Thomas Cook confirms Flybe partnership

Thomas Cook has confirmed a partnership with Flybe that will open up long-haul routes to regional airports across the UK via the operator's Manchester hub.

Thomas Cook Airlines hinted at a partnership earlier this year but has today confirmed the details of the deal.

It will mean that customers can fly from Aberdeen, Belfast, Edinburgh, Exeter, Glasgow, Inverness, Isle of Man, Norwich and Southampton to Manchester to connect with Thomas Cook flights to the Caribbean, Florida, Las Vegas, Mexico and Goa.

These include the only routes outside London to Antigua and St Lucia, and one of only a handful of flights from the UK to Barbados.

"As we develop Manchester Airport as our UK hub - working in partnership with Flybe - we're pleased to be able to offer more flexibility and choice for our customers, competing with the very best scheduled and charter carriers with a range of connections ensuring they don't have to rely on London's airports," said Christoph Debus, Thomas Cook Group head of air travel.

A spokesman confirmed that when Thomas Cook chose its new long-haul flight times from Manchester, launched in the spring, it already had Flybe connections in mind.

Connections to Sanford in Florida (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday) and Las Vegas (Wednesday) will be available with early morning Flybe connecting flights. A new Las Vegas flight on a Friday starts on 2 April 2014.

From 29 March 2014, Thomas Cook Airlines launches flights to Orlando International, with same-day Flybe connections available on Tuesday, Thursdays and Saturdays and with an additional departure on Wednesday from next summer.

For winter holidays, Flybe flights will connect with Thomas Cook Airlines' Manchester to Cancun flights on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturdays on selected dates during the winter.

A new Manchester-Antigua-Barbados Thomas Cook Airlines flight operates from Thursday 19 December. Flights will leave late morning from Manchester, with Flybe connections.

A Manchester-Goa flight departs every Wednesday.

However, for Thomas Cook's new weekly Sunday Manchester-St Lucia-Barbados route, starting on 10 November, holidaymakers need to spend the night at an airport hotel on the Saturday night.

The airline's Sunday flight to Goa also benefits from a connecting departure, and from March 2014 Thomas Cook will introduce its first Sunday Florida flight from Manchester.

Those holidaymakers returning into Manchester on a Sunday will benefit from same-day returning Flybe flight back to their local airport.

In addition to new Florida and Las Vegas connections, next summer will also see Flybe flights linking to the Tuesday, Thursday and Friday Manchester-Cancun flights, and the introduction of a new Manchester-St Lucia-Barbados route every Thursday.

Speculative punt but possible multi bagger.

Flybe, Europe's largest regional airline, will announce interim results for the half year ending 30 September 2013 on Monday 11 November 2013.

Update on Strategic Review



In its last Interim Management Statement, issued on 8 August 2013, Flybe confirmed that Saad Hammad, its new Chief Executive Officer, had commenced a full review of the Group's operations and would report in due course on the future strategic development and direction of the business.



Whilst the review is on-going, it is already apparent that the future direction of the business will be best advanced through a unified and lower cost operational approach. Consequently, the current divisional structure, comprising Flybe UK and Flybe Outsourcing Solutions, will be disbanded and all operations integrated into a single operating unit.



As a result of this re-organisation, Andrew Strong, Managing Director of Flybe UK, Mike Rutter, Managing Director of Flybe Outsourcing Solutions and Mark Chown, Director of Corporate Strategy, left their positions with Flybe on 13 September 2013. The Board wishes Andrew, Mike and Mark well for the future and also thanks them for their significant contributions at Flybe.



As previously announced, Paul Simmons will join Flybe as Chief Commercial Officer with effect from 28 October 2013. Flybe is also pleased to confirm that with immediate effect Matt Bennett currently Director of Internal Audit and Risk will, in addition to his current duties, act as Director of Special Projects, while John Palmer currently Director of Aircraft Maintenance will become (Interim) Director of Operations whilst a search is conducted for this role. Paul, Matt and John will report to Mr Hammad and act as members of the Operating Board.



Saad Hammad commented:



"It has quickly become clear to me that Flybe's prospects will be significantly enhanced by disbanding the existing divisional structure and integrating all operations into a single, simpler and lower cost operating unit. Today's announcement facilitates that move and will form an important part of the strategic review of the business which I expect to conclude in November. I look forward to sharing its full conclusions."



Ends

very chance of 100p next week.

Keeps stalling around the 90p level mitzy, but it does look ready now to finally get through that psychological barrier.

Flybe turnaround gains momentum
StockMarketWire.com
Flybe's group revenues rose by 3% to £351.1m in the six months to the end of September as the company's turnaround gained momentum.

The group posts an adjusted profits before tax, restructuring and surplus capacity costs and revaluation on US dollar aircraft loans of £12.2m against a loss of £2.3m last time.

And the group posts an adjusted profit before tax and restructuring of £17.1m against a loss of £1.6m a year ago.

Chief executive Saad Hammad said: "I joined Flybe in August this year. It was clear to me that the existing Phase 1 and 2 cost savings were necessary, but we simply needed to do more and to do it immediately. The business needed action now and so today we are explaining our next phase which encompasses a review of everything we do and how we do it.

"Most of the immediate actions are completed, being implemented or already being consulted on. Unfortunately there is a proposal for further redundancies. We will consult with the trade unions and employees to ensure that this is done fairly and delivers the right outcome for the business.

"While the economic environment remains challenging, the board is confident that the actions announced today will provide a firm basis for future growth.

"We will make Flybe the best local airline in Europe. This is ambitious, but achievable provided that we can transform our cost base and efficiency now."

good chance of 100p going forward.

Top riser today.
