Chris Holiday from the airline said [quote] "We are further enhancing our business schedules, offering commuters greater choice, convenience and flexibility to help them make the best use of day trips. Along with these additional services we have introduced great value one way fares on the route, which will also appeal to those travelling for leisure purposes".

With the 20 flights a week, and only on week days, the service is aimed at both business and leisure travellers.

Eastern Airways is quite unique in that amongst budget airlines it does not charge for hold luggage, passengers can choose there they sit and are offered complimentary drinks and snacks.

Eastern Airways recently started flights between London and Manchester after Air Berlin stopped the same route in October 2007.
