Luton-Liverpool air service launched

Regional luxury-seat airline Euroceltic Airways will this week start Luton to Liverpool services.

Beginning on Wednesday, the carrier will operate four return flights each weekday and one return flight on Saturdays and Sundays.

Forty-eight seat Fokker F27 aircraft will be used on the one-hour flights, with fares starting from £78 including airport tax.

Launched in February of this year, Luton-based Euroceltic already operates services between Luton and Waterford.

‘‘I am delighted that Euroceltic Airways has decided to re-establish Liverpool’s air link to the capital,’’ said Liverpool airport managing director Rod Hill.
