VLM launches new flights from Manchester
VLM Airlines will launch a non-stop service from Manchester to Antwerp on October 30.
The carrier, which already flies to London City from Manchester and Liverpool, will serve Antwerp with two return flights each weekday, and one return service each Sunday.
VLM Airlines’ existing service from London City to Antwerp will also be enhanced, with the addition of three return flights each weekday from September 18. This will mean a total of seven flights each weekday, along with two flights on Saturdays and one each Sunday.
VLM Airlines will be introducing an additional three Fokker 50 aircraft to operate these new services, bringing its total fleet size to 19 Fokker 50 aircraft.
