From 1 December, Flybe will draft in a 98-seat Stobart Air jet to enhance the service.
The carrier’s winter programme, which got under way on Sunday (27 October), will operate through 28 March 2020 offering 208 Edinburgh flights a week from nine departure points.
These include 24 flights a week from London City and a sixth daily Heathrow-Edinburgh flight introduced in the summer.
It comes ahead of Flybe’s proposed rebrand as Virgin Connect following its acquisition earlier this year by Virgin Atlantic-led consortium Connect Airways, of which Stobart Air is also a member.
