Flybe bowled over by Isle of Man – Birmingham success
08 May 2008
Flybe, Europe’s largest regional low cost airline, has today announced the extension of its double-daily Birmingham – Isle of Man service through the 2008/9 Winter Season following the enormous success enjoyed since tickets went on sale at the end of November 2007.
The highly popular service, with one way tickets available from £29.99 including taxes and charges, began operating at the end of March and continues to exceed all expectations, according to Flybe’s Chief Commercial Officer, Mike Rutter.
“We’ve been absolutely bowled over by how quickly this route has become such a success,” he said. “Tickets have been flying off the shelf and so we have had no hesitation in taking the decision to continue flying the Birmingham to Isle of Man route throughout the upcoming winter season.”
Mr Rutter added that the decision further confirms Flybe’s position as Europe’s largest regional low cost carrier, committed to offering affordable, reliable and direct travel from the regions for both business and leisure travellers.
