Flybe, Europe�s largest and most successful regional airline, is delighted to have found five out of eight Scottish namesakes in its countrywide search for destination namesakes to commemorate Flybe�s first-ever branded flight from Glasgow with its franchise partner, Loganair that took off late last year.

The competition invited anyone with the name Ben Becula or Kirk Wall � or any creative derivation of any of the other destinations flown by Flybe-branded aircraft from Glasgow (Sumburgh, Stornaway, Barra, Tiree, Islay and Campbeltown) - to take part in the quirky search.

Flybe was delighted to have been contacted by a �real� Kirk Wall (from Hampshire), Tiree (Rodden from Inverness), Islay (McVean from Dunbartonshire) as well as by a creative colleague of a delighted Sam Burrows (Sumburgh) from Northants and, lastly, receiving an inspiring motivation from Donald Morrison of Co Durham whose widely used Internet forum name gave Flybe its �Ben Becula�. Donald has strong ancestral links with Benbecula and he and his wife visit the Western Isles on a regular basis.

Mike Rutter, Flybe�s Chief Commercial Officer, comments: �We thought our search for these namesakes would be a bit of a tall order but we were bowled over with the phenomenal interest shown in the competition and we thank all those who entered.�

All winners won two free return flights with Flybe anywhere on its extensive expanded network.

Flybe�s agreement with new franchise partner, Loganair, started on October 26th at the start of the 2008/09 Winter Schedule. It is the first deal of its kind ever for a UK low cost carrier and has created an exciting synergy between two of Scotland�s best known airlines. It offers passengers the many benefits to be gained from a diverse and expanded route network with a wide choice of connections.
