Up to 19 flights per week to Birmingham and three services a day to Belfast City Airport will commence from Glasgow on 13th April.

Flybe CEO, Dave Pflieger, said: “We are delighted to now be out for sale and starting service next month. We think our new flights will benefit everyone who wants low fares and more flights to go on holiday and visit loved ones. Our new network will also ensure better regional connectivity inside the UK and between various UK and EU regions.”

The new Flybe team has worked tirelessly over the past year to create an airline that delivers on price, schedule, and choice.”

The new Flybe airline will also operate services to Birmingham and Belfast from Aberdeen Airport and Birmingham, Avignon and Toulon in France from Southampton Airport.

“Both Birmingham and Belfast are important destinations, so these additional flights to the UK’s second-largest city and Northern Ireland’s capital will now offer even more choice and convenience for our customers.”
