The reincarnation of failed regional carrier Flybe has finally put its first flights on sale, with the first flight on 13th April 2022.

From its bases in Birmingham and Belfast it will serve 16 airports across the UK and Northern Europe.

The first route to commence will be a four-times-daily Belfast City to Birmingham route with Belfast City to Glasgow launching a day later.

The airline has a new UK issued Air Operators Certificate (AOC), the first to be issued since Brexit, and will operate a fleet of leased Bombardier Dash 8 turboprops, two of which have already been delivered.
