FLYBE, Europe’s largest regional airline, have launched their new direct route to Düsseldorf from Cardiff Airport.

Beginning initially as a Saturday flight, frequency will increase to four weekly flights from August 31.

This new route is the first of the airline’s expanded 12-route network which takes off later this summer when its new base opens at Cardiff Airport with two of Flybe’s 118-seat Embraer 195 jet aircraft on June 1. The base will mean an increase in capacity and frequency on existing flights as well as eight brand new Flybe routes including those to Glasgow, Faro, Milan and Paris Charles de Gaulle.
