Loganair has unveiled its “biggest-ever” programme of flights for Newcastle Airport for summer 2023.
The airline is offering customers access to almost 200,000 seats from March next year, following a strong travel recovery in 2022.
The airline said the popularity of this year’s services has allowed it to base a second permanent Embraer ERJ-145 aircraft at Newcastle Airport.
Bookings can be made from 19 December 2022 with new routes and additional frequencies starting from March 2023.
The airline has also announced the return of double daily flights to Aberdeen and the addition of a Newcastle to Oslo via Aberdeen route, as well as an increase in frequency to its Southampton service to three flights daily.
The Aberdeen to Southampton flight operates via Newcastle and customers will not need to leave the aircraft on the one-stop service.
Customers will also be able to fly to Newquay and Bergen twice a week, while flights to Exeter have been boosted from three to up to five per week.
The plans are topped-off by a return to the pre-Pandemic frequency of up to five flights per week between Newcastle and Stavanger.
Luke Lovegrove, Chief Commercial Officer at Loganair, said: “This bumper schedule for 2023 underlines our commitment to Newcastle with our biggest ever programme for the city, offering customers more choice of destinations, frequency and capacity than ever before.
“It has been a very positive year for Loganair at Newcastle and we are excited to see that success continue into 2023.”
Leon McQuaid, Director of Aviation Development at Newcastle International Airport said: “This biggest-ever capacity increase by Loganair is a great vote of confidence in both the Airport and the region, and further strengthens our partnership.
“The investment will provide more choice for passengers flying from Newcastle, create more jobs at the airport and across the wider area, and increase opportunities for the attraction of inbound tourists to the North East.
“Loganair also provides connectivity to important business destinations, so this announcement will further boost the growth in business travel.”
