Flybe Summer 17 Sun Routes Now On Sale

Leading regional airline announces early Summer 2017 schedule with return of popular sun routes to Spain

Flybe, Europe’s largest regional airline, has today (6th October 2016) put on sale the first phase of its 2017 Summer schedule that includes the return of popular sun routes from Norwich to Alicante and Malaga that will both operate twice weekly. Seats can be booked now at www.flybe.com with one way fares from £49.99 including taxes and charges and currently available for travel between 27th March and 13th August 2017.

Flights to Alicante operate on Tues/Fridays with those to Malaga on Monday and Thursdays.

The year-round flights returned earlier this year following the announcement of a partnership between airport owners Regional & City Airports (RCA) and Flybe that resulted in one of Flybe’s E195 118-seater jet aircraft being employed to service both routes.

Full details of schedule available at www.flybe.com
