Flybe plan French routes announcement this month
13.11.07
Flybe, the biggest airline at Norwich Airport, said yesterday that it plans to launch a number of new French routes in the coming months. However, there are no plans to reinstate winter flights to Spanish destinations Malaga and Alicante from the airport.
Speaking as the airline announced record profits and plans to list on the stock market in the next two years, chief commercial officer Mike Rutter said its French expansion plans followed the popularity of the daily flights to Paris Charles de Gaulle from Norwich.
Details of the new destinations will be announced at the end of the month. Mr Rutter said: 'We are very happy with domestic and city routes out of Norwich and intend to build on this success. We are hoping to make an announcement on new routes in the next 3 weeks, including more French routes.'
He said the twice-daily flights between Norwich and Manchester had proved popular, along with flights to Edinburgh. However, he added that competition from nearby rival Stansted meant winter flights to Malaga and Alicante are not viable from the airport.
