The Plymouth-based airline is launching daily services from Cardiff to Newquay and Manchester as well as starting Newquay-Leeds/Bradford and Bristol-Norwich links. Lead-in fares start at £19.
Newquay to Manchester flights will go to twice daily while Bristol-Leeds/Bradford frequency will rise from two to three flights a day.
