The reborn Flybe brand looks set to start flying from London to Scotland.

Flybe Ltd has gained 86 slots a week to begin flights from Heathrow to Edinburgh and Aberdeen, according to slot coordinator ACL.

ACL shows the slots as being previously held by British Airways.

The new airline, created from the remains of the former Flybe Group, will use 78-seat Q-400 propeller aircraft, the same as flown by Flybe in its previous incarnation until its collapse in March 2020. 

The slots are valid for the summer season and Aberdeen’s Press and Journal said 50 a week would be to Edinburgh and the remainder to Aberdeen, where there will be three return services a day.
