Flybe also operate the Belfast, Dusseldorf and Southampton routes from Leeds Bradford.

In April, the regional airline faced criticism for cancelling around 20 flights in and out of UK airports for 'operational reasons'. The LBA to Belfast route was one of those affected. They also marked the beginning of this summer's seasonal timetable by cancelling the first departure from Newquay to Heathrow, a brand-new route.

Passengers were instead offered a six-hour coach journey from Cornwall to London after their plane was grounded over a technical issue.
