Flybe takes on Buzz’s Bournemouth routes

FLYBE has confirmed it will launch three of the seven routes left open following Buzz’s departure from Bournemouth Airport.

The carrier will start services from Southampton to Murcia, Malaga and Toulouse from May 19, its first summer sun destinations. It decided not to pursue Buzz’s abandoned routes Glasgow Prestwick, Amsterdam, Bergerac and Paris Charles de Gaulle as they didn’t fit with its future strategy.

Buzz was set to launch the services from Bournemouth Airport but Ryanair scrapped them following its take-over of the low-cost rival.
