Flybe launches Isle Of Man?Bristol service
Flybe has announced the launch of a thrice-weekly service between the Isle of Man and Bristol beginning on 28 March, the start of its summer schedule. The new service – operated by 78-seat Bombardier Q400s – will fly every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday, with the addition of a Saturday service during the May through September peak season.
Ann Reynolds, director of the Isle of Man Airport, is delighted with the return of the air service between Bristol and the Isle of Man. “We have been seeking to restore this important link to Bristol for the last couple of years and it is extremely encouraging that Flybe has decided to develop it in 2010,” she commented.
In addition to the Isle of Man–Bristol service, Flybe has added frequency on its new summer service between Bristol and Jersey that results in travellers now having a convenient choice of daily services to and from the Channel Islands from the West Country.
Shaun Browne, aviation director at Bristol International Airport, remarked, “We are delighted that Flybe will be operating additional flights from Bristol International and we look forward to working together to ensure the success of these and other potential routes in future.”
