A boost for Flybe’s popular Newcastle - Gatwick route

Flybe is adding another daily flight on its key Newcastle to London Gatwick service offering travellers a choice of four convenient flights a day when travelling to the capital.

The increased service will begin operating from 26th October, the start of Flybe’s 2008/09 Winter Schedule.

Newcastle – London Gatwick
• Flights operate four times daily Mondays-Fridays
• Flights operate three times daily at the weekend
• Fares begin at £29.99 one way including taxes and airport charges
• Flights are available now for booking now on flybe.com

The additional daily flight is expected to prove especially convenient for business people travelling from the North East to London. The additional flights will depart Newcastle at 0710 each day, arriving in the capital at 0840, with the return flight departing London Gatwick at 0940 to arrive back in the North East at 1105.

Mike Rutter, Flybe’s Chief Commercial Officer, says: “Our Newcastle to London Gatwick route is a key one for business travellers and we’re delighted at how quickly it has become established. It is as a direct result of the overwhelming demand for seats that we’ve been able to offer an extra flight on the route each day.

“We are strongly committed to growing our operations in Newcastle and this move sees us listening to our customers’ needs and responding accordingly. We would urge people to book now to ensure they don’t miss out on the very best prices.”
