Flybe 40 plane Nordic expansion
27.08.11
Flybe plans to set up a fleet of 40 planes in the Nordic and Baltic region to serve new routes there within the next three to four years. That could include 24 new planes to serve new bases in Finland, Estonia, Sweden, Denmark, Latvia and Lithuania.
The airline completed the acquisition of Finnish Commuter Airlines in a joint-venture with Finnair last week. The Finnish carrier will be re-branded Flybe Nordic and will expanded with four new ATR-72 turboprops shortly.
Flybe will launch six new routes from Estonia to locations in Finland and Sweden in October and November. The new routes will create up to 50 new jobs each in Finland and Estonia. The new routes will also complement feeder traffic to Finnair’s international connections, and will be flown as codeshare flights.
