Newcastle - Starts Mon 16/03, appears to be 11 weekly on a based E145. Another booking quirk on this one where only one southbound flight per day appears bookable at the moment.
Good to see them pick up these routes at such short notice, even if it is a large capacity drop (although NCL will be very nicely served once Loganair start as well - similar capacity to before but more flights to choose from). Hopefully they will have been/or getting into contact with some of the former Flybe staff to crew them.
Somebody said its the EJET 170 as its designated as 100LR.....for your info
