Airline announces four new routes

Version 0 of 1.

Regional airline Flybe has announced it will launch four new routes from Inverness from next year.

The flights to Birmingham, Exeter, Manchester and Southampton are among 23 new routes nationally.

The airline has previously been criticised for its reliability and last week put Inverness in the wrong place on promotional material.

Flybe's chief commercial officer Mike Rutter said the new routes represented its commitment to Inverness.

He added: "The new routes from Inverness for summer next year show us continuing to offer choice to our Scottish passengers."

Flybe said Inverness to Birmingham would operate daily from 30 March, daily flights to Exeter will begin from 8 May.

Inverness to Manchester will be twice daily and flights to Southampton will be daily.
