Bmi regional to increase Aberdeen-Manchester flights

bmi regional is to add an extra return flight between Aberdeen and Manchester from September 3.

This means the airline will operate 14 flights each weekday between the two cities.

Peter Kenworthy, commercial director of bmi regional, said: "The extra flights are being launched to coincide with the opening of the global oil and gas exploration event in Aberdeen - Offshore Europe."

From the same date, bmi regional is also retiming some services between Manchester and Edinburgh and Glasgow to improve schedules for passengers. By Bev Fearis
