Flybe launches new Newcastle to Hannover route

Flybe has added another brand new route to and from Newcastle, this time to Germany, with a three times weekly summer service to Hannover, giving North East travellers even more options for European getaways effective March 31st, 2010.

The announcement further reinforces Flybe’s commitment to bringing convenient, affordable travel to the North East. Flights are available for booking now at flybe.com with fares from just £39.99 one way, including taxes and charges.

Mike Rutter, Flybe’s Chief Commercial Officer comments: “With this brand new route to Hannover we’re giving Newcastle travellers an unbeatable low cost offer for direct travel to the German city. Despite the economic challenges of the past 12 months, Flybe has continued to grow and we remain committed to providing the widest, most convenient and affordable range of regional services for our passengers. We expect this new summer service to Hannover to prove popular to both business and leisure travellers.”

Chris Sanders, Head of Airline Development at Newcastle International said:  "We are delighted by this addition to Flybe's route network from Newcastle.  The Hannover region is an interesting area to visit and these flights also provide a further way of reaching other German cities such as Hamburg, Bremen and the capital, Berlin. We also expect a significant number of German passengers will use the flights to enjoy all the North East has to offer to tourists."

Mr Rutter adds: “With flights available for booking now, we’d urge travellers to book early so they don’t miss out on the lowest fares possible.”
