Flybe announces new route from Humberside

Flybe has announced a brand new weekly summer service from Humberside Airport to Malaga for 2010 with seats now on sale from £44.99 one-way including taxes and charges for travel effective 29th May to 11th September.

The new Saturday route, operated in partnership with Humberside Airport, will be the first ever scheduled service to Malaga from the region.  It will be operated by one of the airline’s state-of-the-art 118-seat Embraer 195 jet aircraft featuring comfortable 2 x 2 seating configuration and expands Flybe’s presence at the airport from where it began operating its successful Jersey route last year.

Mike Rutter, Flybe’s Chief Commercial Officer, comments: “We’re delighted to be adding this brand new service to Spain from Humberside and to increasing our presence at the airport and remain committed to expanding our services out of the region.”

Tony Lavan, Director, Humberside Airport said: “Today's announcement is great news for the airport and a great start to the new year. Flybe’s new scheduled service follows the introduction of Jersey last year which was extremely well received. It is great to see the airline extending its commitment with the launch of a weekly flight to Malaga and I am sure that the new addition to the schedule will prove popular with passengers.”

Adds Mr Rutter: “Flybe prides itself on ensuring that travellers have the widest possible choice of affordable, quality flights to attractive business and leisure destinations. With people already planning next year’s holidays and wanting their budgets to go as far as possible, it’s advisable to book early to take advantage of the lowest possible fares.”
