UK airline Flybe is resuming operations and flights again after collapsing two years ago.
From a new base in Birmingham, the carrier has announced that it will operate up to 530 flights per week, resuming on 13th April.
The airline has announced 23 routes, serving airports such as Belfast City, East Midlands, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Inverness, Heathrow and Leeds Bradford as well as Birmingham.
The airline will connect Aberdeen to Birmingham and Belfast.
Matt Hazelwood, Chief Commercial Officer of AGS Airports Ltd, which owns and operates Aberdeen and Glasgow airports, said: “The re-emergence of Flybe as an airline is welcome news for the industry and our passengers as we continue to rebuild the vital connectivity Aberdeen City and the wider region relies on.
“Both Birmingham and Belfast are two of our most popular destinations, so the addition of a daily service to the UK’s second-largest city and four flights a week to Northern Ireland’s capital will now deliver even greater choice and convenience for our customers.”
Flybe's business and assets were purchased in April 2021 by Thyme Opco, which is linked to US hedge fund Cyrus Capital.
Thyme Opco has been renamed Flybe Limited.
Chief executive Dave Pflieger said the firm thought the new flights would benefit everyone who wanted low fares and more options.
