Flybe has reached a deal with student and youth travel specialist STA Travel to become its preferred youth operator.
The agreement follows Flybe’s recent tie-up with Booking.com.
The airline said the deal with STA Travel would give it ‘high prominence’ within the ‘relatively untapped and hugely active’ student travel sector.
Flybe chief commercial officer Paul Simmons said: "The global student and youth travel market offers enormous potential and we are delighted to have secured a presence into this fast growing sector of the travelling public through our new preferred partnership relationship with STA Travel.
"Customers will have access to an extensive selection of dynamic fares across Flybe’s network that includes routes offered by our two franchise partners, Loganair and Stobart Air.
"Our regional sales team is looking forward to supporting this partnership by working closely with STA Travel’s own extensive retail network."
