Scottish service to Kent

FLYBE is to introduce a summer service between Edinburgh and Manston (Kent International) airports on 27 May.  It will operate on Saturdays, Sundays, Mondays and Fridays.  Flight time is just 80 minutes for one of the Flybe Bombardier Q80 turboprops.  Manston has had no full scheduled services since the demise of EUjet in 2005.  The airport is to the east of Canterbury and borders on the towns of Broadstairs, Margate and Ramsgate.  The nearest alternative airports are Gatwick and London City, both nearly 80 miles away.  The port of Dover is about 15 miles to the south. www.flybe.com
