Flybe Agreement with Eastern Airways commences
Further to the announcement on 6 June, Flybe Group plc ("Flybe")
is pleased to announce the start of its alliance with Eastern
Airways (UK) Limited ("Eastern").
Flybe and Eastern have signed a joint revenue and risk sharing
agreement, covering four Eastern aircraft, to fly existing Flybe
branded routes from Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Manchester.
These flights start today, and will significantly enhance
connectivity in Scotland.
The separate five year franchise agreement, in which Eastern
will operate its scheduled route network under the Flybe brand,
will commence on 29 October 2017 and tickets will be on sale for
those flights early this month.
Christine Ourmieres-Widener, Flybe CEO said "Flybe is delighted
to start operations with our new franchise partner, Eastern
Airways. The flights, both under the franchise and risk-sharing
agreements, demonstrate our long-term commitment to Scotland and
provide much needed choice on some of the lifeline routes so
critical to the Scottish Highlands and Islands. Flybe and Eastern
together also offer a wealth of onward connections to the UK and
the rest of the world and we look forward to welcoming passengers
on board".
