Eastern Airways has today confirmed the start date of August 17 for another new route from Southampton Airport to Dublin as part of its expansion plans at the south coast of England airport, with flights on-sale today.
By reconnecting the airport with the Irish capital Dublin, which is a former Flybe route, Eastern Airways as the UK’s regional airline is expanding the number of routes it operates from Southampton to seven. Commencing with an initial daily round-trip, the frequency will increase quickly as demand increases following the return to air travel following the reduced Covid-19 travel restrictions and return of business and leisure travel.
Roger Hage, Eastern Airways’ general manager commercial & operations, said: “We are delighted to confirm a start date for the Southampton – Dublin route launch of August 17, which is now bookable, as we restore this important trade and leisure link between the south coast of England and Ireland’s capital. We are beginning to help increase accessibility to Southampton as we have already reintroduced a number of other routes from the airport, increasing frequency and will also add further new services as we establish a five aircraft base.
