More chances to fly away

MORE flights and new routes from Newcastle Airport have been announced.

Loganair has resumed flights between Newcastle and Exeter, bringing back connectivity between the two cities for both business and leisure travel.

Flights are available from £76.66 one way and operate every Monday and Friday throughout May before increasing to every Monday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday from June.

Exeter marks the third Loganair route to resume at the North East’s largest Airport, with Aberdeen and Southampton flights already operating.

Later this week, this will be followed by the airline’s brand new route to Newquay which will operate every Monday, Friday and Saturday throughout the summer season.

On June 25, Loganair will also begin a new route to Jersey from Newcastle, operating three times a week between the North East and the popular Channel island destination.

Leon McQuaid, Head of Aviation Development at Newcastle International Airport said: “Connectivity between the North East and rest of the UK is extremely important and Loganair has been integral to unlocking these key air links. I am delighted that this route has been restored, catering for both business passengers as well as passengers planning a holiday or visiting family and friends in the South West of the UK.

“As the demand for travel continues to increase we have been working hard to ensure the terminal is a safe environment for all.”
