Flybe today announced the launch of a new route from Manchester to Waterford operating four times weekly on Mondays, Wednesdays Fridays and Sundays from 22nd May 2013 catering for business and lesuire traffic on the route using DHC8-400s.
Flybe UK Managing Director Andrew Strong said “Flybe is committed to continue developing our extensive route network out of Manchester. It has become a key hub for us. We fully expect many of our new Waterford passengers to take advantage of the added connections available with Flybe from Manchester that not only includes our own extensive network throughout the UK and regional Europe bookable online, but also the seamless onward connections available through our codeshare and interline partners to a huge range of worldwide destinations, when booked through a travel agent. “
MAG Aviation Commercial Director Mats Sigurdson said “We’ve noticed more and more passengers are using long haul services into Manchester and connecting onto Flybe’s already impressive network of UK and Irish destinations. The addition of Waterford as a new destination provides another point to point connection and strengthens that offer even further.”
Waterford Airport CEO Graham Doyle said “Waterford has close ties to the northwest England market and this direct air route will allow us to promote the region to a huge potential market especially in this year of ‘The Gathering’. The southeast of Ireland has a great deal to offer visitors on the back of the major investment there has been at key tourism sites in the region.”
