Flybe expands further

Claiming to be Europe’s largest regional airline and the UK’s number one domestic airline, Flybe will operate an additional six brand new routes from the start of the summer season.  Based in Exeter the carrier, which includes as a minority shareholder British Airways, offers a total of 208 routes across its network.  The airline's share price seems to have steadied at around 60p (from a high of £3.45).

The new routes are Newcastle to Newquay and Bergen (Norway); Belfast City to Newquay; to Knock and Waterford from Leeds and Birmingham respectively, and from Southampton to Tours in France. 

The six additional new routes have been chosen so that both leisure and business travellers have a wide variety of travel options available to them and, in the case of the Newcastle – Bergen route, reinstates a much-awaited link between the two twinned cities.  They follow hot on the heels of the announcement of Flybe’s new route between Newquay and Norwich and its franchise partner Loganair’s four new flights out of Norwich to Exeter, the Isle of Man, Manchester and Southampton. www.flybe.com
