Flybe makes first move into Germany
Flybe is to operate its first routes to Germany this winter with the launch of services from Southampton.
The low cost airline is to serve Dusseldorf and Hannover from October in the first stage of expansion into the German market.
Flybe claims to be undercutting the lowest fares offered by Lufthansa and bmi from Heathrow to the two German cities.
Tickets for both routes start at £29.99 one-way for the flights which start on October 29, the start of the airline’s winter schedule. Two flights a day to Dusseldorf and daily flights to Hannover will run throughout the winter.
Chief commercial officer Mike Rutter said: “We see huge potential for growth in the area and this is just the first of many new route announcements for Flybe in this exciting new marketplace.
“Over the past year we have aggressively increased our services and passenger numbers from our regional bases across the UK and we will continue in our goal to bring more destinations directly to people’s doorsteps, pushing the growth of regional air travel.”
