We look forward to welcoming Flybe and working with the airline to meet the growing demand for travel.”
Also commenting was the Flybe CEO, Dave Pflieger who said, “We are delighted to now be out for sale and starting service next month. We think our new flights will benefit everyone who wants low fares and more flights to go on holiday and visit loved ones. Our new network will also ensure better regional connectivity inside the UK and between various UK and EU regions. Our goal is to create an airline that people love, and we aim to do that by making air travel on Flybe an easy and enjoyable experience so you will fly with us again in the future. The new Flybe team has worked tirelessly over the past year to create an airline that delivers on price, schedule, and choice, and we look forward to having you book a ticket and start flying again next month, this summer, and in the many years ahead!”
