Eastern Airways is increasing flights and adding extra capacity from Aberdeen and Newcastle airports.
The UK regional airline will increase services on Monday from five to six flights each weekday from Aberdeen to Newcastle; from three to four a day from Aberdeen to Southampton and from three to four a day from Newcastle to Southampton.
Larger 50-seat Saab 2000 aircraft providing up to 60% more capacity will operate flights on those routes.
From April 7, there will also be additional weekday services on the following routes:
Aberdeen-Leeds/Bradford increases to 4 a day
Newcastle-Cardiff increases to 3 a day
Newcastle-Stavanger increases to 2 a day

Chief operating officer Chris Holliday said: “Business commuters want punctual, convenient flights specifically timed to suit their travel patterns and our increased services enable us to provide a comprehensive schedule to meet their needs and expectations.
“To complement these additional services we have introduced excellent value lower one way fares, which will also appeal to leisure travellers.â€
