Flybe tickets go on sale next Tuesday

Tickets for Flybe flights will go on sale next Tuesday (March 22) as the resurrected brand takes to the skies again.

The Birmingham-based regional carrier has also chosen Belfast City airport as its second base.

The airline was acquired by Thyme Opco, which was renamed Flybe Limited, after collapsing in March 2020 as the pandemic hit.

A full list of routes, destinations and fares is set to be announced for its first two bases of operation at Birmingham and Belfast City airports.

The airline said it plans to “rapidly grow, create more jobs, and add more flights as the summer progresses”.

Flybe plans to eventually run a fleet of 32 Dash 8 turboprops.

Dave Pflieger, chief executive, said: “Next week is going to be an exciting time for customers and communities that have been waiting to hear from us about low fares, new routes, and new destinations – all of which are being timed to coincide with the restart of the economy and a return to normality after two difficult years for all.

“Our team has been working hard for over a year and a half to bring customers a new airline that people will love, and we are particularly excited to be flying to Belfast City airport and serving Northern Ireland.

“Once we start flying from Birmingham, Belfast, and many other cities in the UK and EU, we are confident that a new and improved Flybe will provide customers with great value, more choices, and the opportunity to quickly and more conveniently visit loved ones, go on holiday, and more easily visit customers or attend important meetings.

“Given that goal, Flybe hopes to do its part to help communities across the country bounce back from the dramatic impact of the global pandemic.”
