Airline to announce new service to Cork and Dublin

Airline Flybe is expected to announce a new service to Cork and Dublin airports today as part of a major 10-route expansion out of Cardiff airport in Wales.

In a move backed by the Welsh government, the airline, which already flies Cardiff to Belfast, is due to announce plans for new services to Cork, Dublin, Edinburgh, Faro, Geneva, Glasgow, Jersey, Milan, Malpensa, Munich and Charles de Gaulle in Paris.

The announcement comes a day after the launch of a new holiday deals website developed for Cork Airport to boost passenger numbers and also just days after a new Ibiza summer route was announced.
