Southampton gets Brussels back

Eastern Airways has now restarted its Southampton to Brussels operation after the service was axed by Flybe.  Previously Eastern had operated flights to the EU capital until the Exeter-based carrier had muscled its way in using larger aircraft and offering cheaper fares.  That lasted until mid-February.

Weekday flights leave Southampton at 11:10 on Mondays and Tuesdays, 13:00 on Wednesdays and 10:55 on Thursdays and Fridays.  Operating the route is a 29-seat BAe J41.
 
Southampton Airport Managing Director Dave Lees, who joined the maiden flight, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Eastern Airways back to this route today.  It’s a highly requested route by both our business and leisure passengers, who are looking for convenient flights to this, a major European centre.” www.easternairways.com
