Carlisle Lake District airport’s owners Stobart Group have confirmed a June 4 start date for flights to and from the three cities following a £4.95 million grant to kick-start services. Stobart owns Southend airport and operates Stobart Air, which flies as Aer Lingus Regional and operates some services for Flybe.
Southend airport would seem to be favourite for the London connection, but a Stobart spokesperson declined to reveal which airports the new flights would serve or whether Stobart Air would operate them. He added: “It is to be confirmed.”
