Flybe, Europe"s largest regional airline has published its 2009 summer schedule, which features new services to Jersey. In addition, the airline has increased the frequency of its flights on many of its key routes.
Flybe"s summer schedule takes effect on 29th March, which sees new routes being introduced to Jersey from Inverness, Dundee and Manston in Kent. Apart from these additions, Flybe will also operate a greater number of flights from Birmingham, Doncaster/Sheffield, Cardiff, Exeter and Newcastle. The summer schedule of the carrier would run until 7th September.
Discussing the salient features of the summer schedule, Mike Rutter, Flybe"s chief commercial officer, observed that it would enable the airline to strengthen the network of its operations across the UK and Europe.
He added, "Over the last twelve months we have continued to grow and develop Flybe to provide the most cost-effective, efficient and flexible service for business and leisure passengers.â
Mr Rutter said that recently the airline was recognised as the biggest mid-market private company in Britain in the Sunday Times HSBC Top Track 250 league table.
Last month, Flybe announced that its first Aberdeen flight completely crewed by Aberdeen based crew took to the skies flying on its London Gatwick service.
