Belfast finds a saviour

FLYBE, as predicted in last week’s AERBT, has quickly stepped into the gap vacated by Ryanair at George Best Belfast City Airport.  From Sunday 31 October 2010, Flybe will operate up to two daily flights to Bristol, two to East Midlands and up to four daily flights to Liverpool.  With the new operations Flybe will serve 17 destinations from the harbour airport.  Flybe says the new routes will mean locating two additional aircraft at the airport with the potential creation of 250 indirect jobs adding to the 215 already directly employed by Flybe in Belfast. www.flybe.com
