Flights from Cardiff to Aberdeen are being reintroduced this month following a one year break in service.
Eastern Airways is reintroducing a Flybe service linking the two cities from November 11.
According to Roger Hage, Eastern Airways’ General Manager Commercial and Operations, the air link is being re-established with an aim at growing the energy sector and leisure market.
Services from Cardiff were launched by Eastern Airways in 2006 but stopped in October 2018.
There will be 10 flights per week, with services departing Cardiff, Monday - Friday at 10.20am. Return services on Monday - Thursday leave Aberdeen at 11.55am and at 10.55am on Fridays.
Spencer Birns, Chief Commercial Officer at Cardiff Airport added: “It is fantastic to see the return of flights to Aberdeen.
“It’s a thriving port city and a link to the offshore industry off the North Sea, not to mention a popular university city and short break destination.
“We welcome the franchise partnership between Eastern Airways and Flybe, which
already serves our customers well with flights to Anglesey and Newcastle.
“Adding Aberdeen to the network creates more choice for customers seeking to travel within the UK and we look forward to its return on 11 November.”
The Cardiff to Aberdeen flights will operate via Newcastle and will be available to book from Friday.
