Flybe has started operating eleven new routes to regional France and Italy from eight UK airports via its new hub at Southampton.
The seasonal flights operate each weekend through to September 3 as part of the airline’s summer schedule from Aberdeen, Belfast City, East Midlands, Edinburgh, Exeter, Glasgow, Manchester and Newcastle.
The airline said its schedule will be tailored to ensure the connecting time at Southampton is “kept to a minimum”.
Vincent Hodder, Flybe’s chief revenue officer said: “We are delighted to introduce the new Southampton weekend leisure hub to our customers this summer. It further enhances the ever growing number of connections available to those wanting to enjoy fast, convenient travel farther afield from their local airport.”
