A larger 50 seat Saab 2000 aircraft will also be introduced onto all services from Aberdeen to Newcastle and Southampton and Newcastle to Southampton.
Chief operating officer Chris Holliday said: “We’ve provided the business community with a comprehensive network of routes from Aberdeen and Newcastle for many years and this latest expansion demonstrates our commitment to providing the best business schedules from both cities.
“Seat capacity will also be increased by up to 60% on some services with the introduction of our larger Saab aircraft to meet demand.”
Passengers flying from Newcastle, Leeds/Bradford, Southampton and Cardiff airports will use dedicated fast track security channels to avoid any queues at the search area.
