Eastern Airways to operate scheduled services independently and sell tickets on own website

Eastern Airways announced (09-Mar-2020) plans to operate scheduled services independently and offer tickets through its own website, following the collapse of franchise partner Flybe. The existing Eastern Airways network will continue to operate as normal with the carrier to honour any tickets on Flybe services operated by Eastern Airways for travel until 10-Mar-2020. Eastern Airways MD Tony Burgess said the carrier remains fully committed to providing regional connectivity with business links to capital cities and industrial centres. [more - original PR]
