Flybe announces new route from Liverpool
Flybe will operate a new daily mid-morning flight to Edinburgh from Liverpool John Lennon Airport from late October.
This will be Flybe’s fourth route from Liverpool, complementing the airline’s other services to the Isle of Man and Belfast City, as well as Amsterdam, which starts on September 7.
In addition to the new Edinburgh service, Flybe will increase capacity to its existing Isle of Man and Belfast City services with an additional daily departure to both destinations.
Edinburgh will be LJLA’s first service to Scotland in almost 10 years. The route is expected to be popular with both leisure passengers looking for a short break, as well as those travelling on business.
Airport CEO Andrew Cornish said: "This time last year Flybe only operated to the Isle of Man from Liverpool, but over the past 12 months we have worked closely with the airline to explore a number of opportunities and we are naturally delighted that their operations from here are going from strength to strength.
"Edinburgh is an important new domestic route for Liverpool as we continue to give passengers across the city region a wider choice of destinations from their local airport."
Flybe’s chief commercial officer Paul Simmons added: "We’re committed to bolstering regional connectivity across the UK and into Europe and our two new Liverpool routes are a clear indication of this commitment."
