New scheduled flights from Blackpool

April 18, 2007

A series of new services from Blackpool Airport has been announced by Jetstream Express.

Direct flights from the north-west town to Southampton, Aberdeen and Belfast City Airport promise to cut down on commuting times and increase the transit options for leisure travellers.

Flights to Belfast City will begin on May 8, operating ten times per week. With business flyers in mind, flights will depart Blackpool at 7.30am to allow them to get to Belfast at 8.20am for a full working day.

The five times weekly Aberdeen connection will begin on June 4 and the flights to Southampton will start on July 2.

Tickets for the new routes, which will use Jetstream 31 aircraft, begin at less than £60 one-way (excluding taxes and charges).

"Jetstream Express is all about speed and efficiency," said the airline's John Hardcastle. "We've chosen our routes carefully so that passengers can be sure of the fastest 'kerb to gate' times possible.”

"We're focussed on getting them out of their cars, through the airport and into the air as quickly and comfortably as possible."

He added that passengers would have access to the Blackpool Airport executive lounge.

Blackpool International is becoming increasingly popular - passenger numbers increased from 377,000 in 2005 to 553,000 in 2006 according to Civil Aviation Authority figures.
