In further demonstrating an ongoing commitment to expanding its route network out of Manchester, Flybe, Europe’s leading regional airline and the UK’s Number One Domestic airline, has announced it will operate two brand new year-round routes to Aberdeen and Nantes.

Flybe will operate three return flights a day to and from Aberdeen Monday to Friday, as well as one return flight on Saturdays and two on Sundays: and on its new Nantes route, four return flights a week namely Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays.

Mike Rutter, Flybe’s Chief Commercial Officer, comments: “We are delighted to offer our Manchester passengers even more choice with these additional new year-round routes.

We have an enviable reputation for serving regional France and our new route linking Manchester with Nantes, Brittany’s most important commercial hub and the sixth largest city in France, demonstrates our ongoing commitment to expanding our route network and to providing innovative, quality travel options to key strategic destinations.”

Both new routes will be operated by the airline’s state-of-the-art 78-seat, 2x2 seat configured Q400 aircraft, that appeals to those who wish to fly with confidence with an airline that has just scooped a number of global aviation awards including being named Europe’s Number One Regional airline and the world’s Number One Independent Regional Operator.*
