Flybe, Europe's largest regional airline, announces it is to open a new base at Cardiff Airport. The airline will serve 11 destinations in the UK and Europe this summer and base two of its existing Embraer E195 aircraft at the Airport. One of these 118-seat aircraft will arrive at Cardiff in June and the second in September 2015.
This announcement will result in the creation of 50 jobs, including flight crew and ground handling staff. Flybe will offer flights to Belfast, Cork, Dublin, Düsseldorf, Edinburgh, Faro, Glasgow, Jersey, Munich, Milan Malpensa, and Paris Charles de Gaulle. Seats will be on sale from Friday 6 March along with the publication of full schedules.
