Eastern Airways has resumed flights between Newcastle and Aberdeen airports.

Flights will operate six days a week with flight time under one hour.

The airline’s General Manager Roger Hage said: “We have served the North East of England to Aberdeen for 20 years now and we welcome the return to our Newcastle base, restoring the North East Scotland connection.”

“As passenger confidence and energy related activity increases, we want to ensure the right services are being offered.

“Eastern Airways is all about supporting the regions of the UK, connecting people and places.

“Ensuring the North East’s main hub airport of Newcastle is connected to Aberdeen is part of our wider return adding further services at hubs we already serve and a crucial part of increasing connectivity and aiding economic recovery.”

One-way flights start at £84.99.
