Just two years since 5 March 2020 when it filed for administration and ceased all operations Flybe is due to take to the air next Wednesday 13 April.
Flight BE 404, a 68-seat de Havilland Canada Q400 turboprop, will depart Birmingham Airport (BHX) at 08:55 arriving at George Best Belfast City Airport (BHD) 10:10.
The return service leaves the former harbour airport at 13:25 and is due in at Birmingham 14:30 in time for a further BHX take off at 15:10 for BHD landing at 16:20 and departing 17:05, finally arriving back at BHX 18:10 (All timings taken from the Flybe web page).
The airline says that its full schedule will be published to coincide with the inaugural flight 13 April.
When put on sale just three weeks back, Chief Executive Officer, Dave Pflieger had this to say: “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.
