There are new routes from Manchester Airport as of today with Flybe launching services flying South to Southend Airport.
The new flights will operate up to 3 times a day.
Flybe was obviously very proud and had a large launch event to celebrate the new routes.
Flybe is not the only airline to be expanding their Manchester routes, with Jet2 also announcing new flights to popular winter sun locations – the demand for winter holidays is up and the airlines are reacting accordingly.
