Flybe revives Yorkshire link to capital
Flybe, Europe’s largest and most successful regional airline today operated the inaugural flight of its new Leeds Bradford to London Gatwick service.Flybe came to Yorkshire’s rescue on the key route to the Capital following BMI’s decision back in March to axe its service from Leeds Bradford to London Heathrow. Flybe quickly committed to stepping in to operate its own business-friendly schedule that is so crucial to supporting the regional economies of Yorkshire and the Humber.
Says Mike Rutter, Flybe’s Chief Commercial Officer: “We are delighted to be starting our service from Leeds Bradford to London Gatwick today and to welcome the first passengers on board.
Flybe’s ticket sales have been boosted by increasing numbers of passengers choosing to take advantage of the affordable fares offered by Flybe Connections. This is a seamless service offered by the airline that gives the option of connecting from Leeds Bradford to no less than 17 Flybe destinations throughout the UK and regional Europe in one convenient thru-booking online transaction.
In addition, those travelling overseas can take advantage of Flybe’s *Interline arrangement with over 140 international airline partners by booking tickets through their travel agent to an enormous choice of international destinations, meaning they check in their luggage only once on leaving Leeds Bradford before arriving at their final destination.
