Flybe launches 7 new flights for summer 2020

Flybe has unveiled the latest tranche of its new summer 2020 schedule this week, featuring 104 routes comprised of  2,500 flights a week across the UK and regional mainland Europe — including seven new services; six from London Southend and one between Manchester and Stuttgart.

Seats for travel 29 March and 24 October 2020.  Additional summer routes will be announced shortly, are available as of today (14 November).

As part of a new commercial arrangement with Stobart Air to optimise operations, Flybe will next summer increase significantly its short-haul presence in the London market by offering 10 routes with a choice of up to 214 flights a week to and from London Southend Airport.

Six new routes – Belfast City, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Newcastle, Isle of Man and Jersey – will be added to the four existing routes to Caen, Groningen, Newquay and Rennes.  The increased London Southend network will be operated by three of Flybe’s own 78-seat De-Havilland Q400 turboprops based in Belfast City, Edinburgh and Glasgow alongside two 70-seat ATR aircraft based at Southend.
