Newcastle – London Gatwick
• Now includes two flights on Sundays
• Three daily flights Monday to Friday and one Saturday flight
• Fares start at £29.99 one way including taxes and charges
Mike Rutter, Chief Commercial Officer Flybe, says: “The addition of this extra service shows once again Flybe’s exceptional record of taking routes that other airlines have found unprofitable and turning them around.
“Because it has proved so popular with our Newcastle travellers we’re thrilled to be able to up our service with this additional flight on Sundays that will make South East England even more accessible not only for business travellers looking to beat the weekday rush but also with those looking to enjoy a longer weekend break.
“Flybe is strongly committed to its Newcastle base and this move sees us listening to our customers’ needs and responding accordingly.”
