Flybe is to increase domestic flights where possible during the first national rail strike in 16 years.
Both the RMT and TSSA Unions have called a four-day national rail strike immediately after Easter, starting on April 6.
The airline’s chief commercial officer Mike Rutter said: “In order to give the many passengers whose travel plans will be disrupted yet again by strike action, Flybe will increase frequency and availability wherever needed to meet the expected demand over what is one of the busiest travel periods of the year.
“We are in a better position than any other airline to offer such increased frequency with our extensive regional UK network offering a choice of key routes from 38 UK airports.”
