Eastern Airways is extending its summer service from Southampton Airport to Dijon until the end of October to meet demand.

The three-times-a-week Dijon service was introduced in June and was scheduled to end on 30 September. However, due to the popularity of the flights, flights have been extended until 28 October 2011.

Kay Ryan, Eastern Airways’ commercial director, said: “We introduced the new seasonal service from Southampton as part of our wider development plans in Dijon providing an international link to the south of England. Flights have proved popular over the summer season and we’ve taken a decision to extend the service with it now running until the end of October. These services will then be reintroduced in April 2012.”
