Those at the airline say the ‘new and improved’ Flybe will resume operations in April 2022 with more than 500 flights per week across 23 routes – and more to be announced in the future.

Announcing the return CEO Dave Pflieger put an emphasis on ‘low fares’ and making journeys ‘easy and enjoyable’ for passengers.

He said: “We think our new flights will benefit everyone who wants low fares and more flights to go on holiday and visit loved ones. Our new network will also ensure better regional connectivity inside the UK and between various UK and EU regions.”
