Up to three flights a day will also be offered between Gatwick and Newquay in Cornwall.

Flybe chief executive, Christine Ourmieres-Widener, said: “This will be our first season of our plans to optimise and standardise our route network with a renewed focus.

“As such, we’re pleased to have maintained a comprehensive range and diversity of winter destinations for our customers.

“The schedule has been carefully designed to satisfy those wanting to book convenient affordable business travel as well as for those looking for short weekend leisure breaks over the autumn/February half-terms and Christmas/New Year holidays, and for those wanting to use Flybe services to connect seamlessly on to worldwide destinations with our airline partners.”
