Staring from Monday, Loganair
will run six flights per week to Aberdeen and KLM five flights per week to Amsterdam.
In the second half of June, EasyJet will start up to four weekly flights to Belfast, Eastern Airways up to six flights per week to Aberdeen and double-daily weekday flights to Southampton.
Loganair will then add an additional six flights per week to Southampton and Air France up to five flights every week to Paris.

Further flights are scheduled to begin operating throughout July and August.
Newcastle Airport’s 10-point plan will help to provide a safe environment for passengers and staff as the flight schedule gets under way.
Nick Jones, Chief Executive of Newcastle International Airport said “This has been a very challenging period for aviation so it is pleasing that we are now taking cautious and carefully planned steps forward.
“We will continue to work with the government, our airlines and other business partners to ensure our customers and employees are as safe as possible.
“Aviation is critical to kick starting the economy so to have airlines ready to restore connectivity is positive news for both the Airport and the wider North East.”
