The internet-based airline said the first flights will leave the runway on 26 October. The route is one of 15 FlyBE is launching from Southampton this year. FlyBE's head of market development Ian Taylor said: "FlyBE has a strong presence in Scotland and it was always our intention to add flights to this important capital from Southampton. Edinburgh is popular with business and leisure travellers alike and we are confident these new services will be very popular."

But it makes it less likely that flyBe will offer any direct services to Europe from EDI now that their SOU hub has been established. -- Adrian Back to top Callum Johnstone Guest Posted: Wed Aug 27, 2003 7:00 am    Post subject: Re: Flybe unveils new EDI-SOU route "Adrian Tupper" <adrian.tupper (AT) totalise (DOT) co.uk> wrote Quote: Yes.

Indeed, and with feeder flights to their Exeter base next year in addition to the current Birmingham ones. Good for UK domestic travellers, but (perhaps) not so good for those wishing to travel further afield without a change of aircraft. Still, if the prices are right, it's always another option! Actually, aren't flybe withdrawing some services from NCL? Let's lobby them to relocate any aircraft to EDI to be operated on new Euro routes!

Yes, EDI is well served for internal flights but, I agree, we could do with more direct flights to mainland €urope.

We do indeed, and I'm sure they will be!
