Question About FlyBe Please

Shalom and greetings all my pals,
I have question about where is the greatest concentration of PARKED Flybe planes based on specific time, specific day, and of course specific airport.
I own World of AI with many airline packages and all of them work well. If I want to see greatest concentration of parked Fed Ex planes, all I need to do is to pick Sunday at noon using KMEM so that I can see hundreds of parked Fed Ex AI planes.
Same thing regarding greatest concentration of EL AL planes would be for Saturday noon using LLBG so that I can see many EL AL planes parked there as EL AL planes never fly on Saturdays.
If I want to see many Alaskan airline planes, I would pick KSEA at noon any day.
So my question is that which airport, what time, and which day would I see many Flybe AI planes parked at the gates?
Thanks for any answer any of you might offer.
Regards,
Aharon

I would imagine EGCC as this is their main hub according to Google.

Flybe is currently my preferred airline for getting to the UK. Birmingham EGBB is one of their bigger hubs and there is always a number of Flybe aircraft there IRL.

I have to say that I thought Birmingham was their main hub (not looked at wiki)
Aharon.. open the traffic file using something like AIFP (now on version 3) and you'll be able to see where the majority of the flights are from

Thanks all for answers. I looked at two suggested airports at noon setting and I do see few Flybe planes. I guess the airline is not that big. Oh well.
Dave, I do not want to open the file to read because I do not want to screw anything up. LOL

Aharon

You can't ruin anything just by looking at it mate. Just open the file in AIFP and in a few clicks.. it will show all the flights.
Flybe isn't a big airline.. like say BA but they sure have plenty of flights. I live about 16miles from Birmingham and the most common airlines I see are Flybe and Monarch though there are lots of others

It might be the case that the traffic files are older, in which case you may see more at somewhere like EGPH or EGKK or similar.

Darn that is good point!!! I should have thought of that.
Checking the files of Flybe AI and it turns out it is Summer 2011. I am guessing that Flybe has more planes and more flights now than in 2011.
Darn!!!

Hi mate,
Not entirely sure, but they went through a hell of a restructure a few years back and slashed routes and jobs. They never had a huge fleet. Certainly when I lived in Edinburgh you would often see 4 - 6 146's and Q400's on the stands or parking. Similarly at Gatwick and Belfast City, with Gatwick having most. Southampton and Birmingham too. I remember flying back from Perpignan in 2006 into Birmingham and it was like FlyBe city. Very different nowadays.
