Aberdeen-based bmi regional is to launch flights from Manchester to Lyon on May 25.
The direct daily service will fill the gap left by the BA Connect/FlyBe merger after the route was cancelled.
Stewart Adams, managing director bmi regional, said: “After FlyBe/BA Connect decided to leave their passengers in the lurch and cancel the route, passengers from Manchester can now fly with bmi regional and be assured of the punctual services on comfortable jet aircraft with a great flight schedules and low fares.“
