Tue, 15 Oct 2019

Flybe will operate under a different name from next year.

Over 200 of the airline's leaders met today for the unveiling of the airline's new name, Virgin Connect.

Connect Airways CEO Mark Anderson said: 'We are hugely excited by this milestone in our airline’s 40-year history. We will remain true to our heritage and reason for being, which is offering essential regional connectivity to local communities.'

The airline said that this marks the beginning of Flybe’s journey into the future as part of the extended Virgin family, with an overall re-brand scheduled to be completed next year.
