A SCOTTISH airline has stepped in to secure two key European air routes from Newcastle to Brussels and Stavanger following news that flybmi has gone into administration.
Starting on March 25, Loganair will operate the services using a 49-seat Embraer 145 aircraft.
The airline will provide early morning double daily rotations between the North-East and the Belgian capital of Brussels between Monday and Thursday, while also operating two evening departures on Friday and Sunday.
It will also offer six services per week to Norway’s Oil Capital, Stavanger on weekdays and Sunday.
The move will lead to the airline establishing an operating base out of Newcastle Airport and the potential for further expansion from the region.
Fares between Newcastle and Brussels begin at £84, while tickets to Stavanger are from at £86.
Jonathan Hinkles, Loganair’s managing director said: “Our new routes from Newcastle complement our existing activity.”
