It was announced today that Stobart Air will operate a brand new route from Dublin to London with flights to London Southend Airport commencing on 29 October 2017.
The new route, operating under the Flybe brand, will operate up to three flights per day, seven days a week between the two capital cities with fares from €29.99 one way including taxes and charges.
This comes after Stobart Air announced a three-year growth strategy recently which included a €25 million investment, 60 new jobs and addition of two new Embraer E195s jet aircraft to its fleet.
The airline is headquartered in Dublin and employs 570 people. It currently operates up to 860 flights weekly across 43 routes throughout 11 European countries from bases in Ireland and the UK under the Aer Lingus Regional and Flybe brand.
Speaking today, Chief Executive at Stobart Air, Graeme Buchanan said, "We are delighted to expand our relationship with Flybe with the introduction of our new Dublin to London Southend route as part of our upcoming winter schedule. London Southend is one of the UK’s fastest growing airports, offering unique convenience and direct access to central London."
He added, "I have no doubt that the new route will be welcomed by both business and leisure travellers between the two cities, particularly those travelling between London, Essex and Dublin on a regular basis. We look forward to welcoming the first passengers on the route come the 29 October."
