Following on from Flybe’s recent launch of flights between Manston and Edinburgh, the airline has announced flights between Manston and Manchester Airport.

Manston to Manchester flights will operate six days per week (Mondays to Fridays and Sundays) from 6 September to 30 October 2010.

Tom Wilson, Chief Executive of Infratil Airports Europe, the owner and operator of Manston said: “Flybe’s decision to add a daily service between Manston and Manchester is fantastic news and a vote of confidence, not only in the airport and the people that work here, but also in Kent as a short break destination.

“The sales for the flights to Edinburgh have shown that there is strong latent demand from across Kent for flights from a hassle-free regional airport like Manston and Flybe’s decision recognises that commercial reality.

“We are confident that business and residents in the county will vote with their feet when looking to travel to Manchester and choose Flybe from Manston rather than driving or going by train.”
