Flybe's new Inverness services take off

Low-cost carrier Flybe has begun operating three new services from its base at Inverness Airport.

The airline began flying the new routes last Thursday (May 8), providing connections to Exeter, Manchester and Southampton airports as part of its new summer schedule.

Flights to Exeter and Manchester will operate daily, with one-way fares costing £32.99 and £45.99 respectively. The Manchester service will run twice daily and fares start from £24.99.

All prices include taxes and surcharges.

"The launch of Flybe's new services represents further investment on the airline's part in connecting the Highlands with the rest of the UK," commented Inglis Lyon, spokesperson for Highlands and Islands Airports.

"We expect the new services to be popular with both business and leisure travellers and look forward to them contributing to significant growth at Inverness this year."

Last week, Inverness Airport opened its new pay-per-use executive lounge, which is capable of seating up to 360 flyers.
