Flybe ally with Eastern Airways

Bookings now direct

Frequent Manx flyers will now be able to book passage on Eastern Airways flights from Isle of Man airport directly via Flybe.

The two companies have entered into a new five year franchise agreement starting at the end of October - Flybe says its route network will be 'strengthened' by the arrangement.   

Meanwhile Eastern Airways, who provide daily weekday flights from Ronaldsway to Belfast City, Glasgow and Newcastle, say the deal will provide better 'connectivity' for customers.

Head of commercial at the Eastern, Mathew Herzberg, hopes the partnership will allow it to reach a wider audience through the Flybe brand.

Eastern Airways celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, and reintroduced Isle of Man services in March 2017.
