Mike Rutter, Flybe’s Chief Commercial Officer, comments: “It’s never too early to think about next summer! Our Summer Sun destinations see us continuing to listen to our customers by providing them with the convenience and flexibility of regional travel. Not only does Flybe provide a wide choice of direct flights to and from London Gatwick airport - from where we carry more domestic passengers that any other airline – but also to the some of the most popular sea and sun destinations in Europe.

“Despite the economic challenges of the past 12 months, we have continued to grow and develop the airline to provide the most cost-effective, efficient and flexible service for passengers. Our offering to London Gatwick – our recently opened 14th base - is further proof of that increased offering.”

Adds Mr Rutter: “We anticipate our new Summer Sun routes will be very popular with passengers looking for the best deal possible for their holidays next year. We would strongly advise them to book early and take advantage of the lowest possible fares.”
