The winter programme will offer a mix of ski, winter sun and popular city routes as part of flybe.s overall strategy of continued investment and expansion of both its domestic and international route network.

The winter timetable sees the addition of six new routes at Norwich International Airport, bringing the total number of routes operated from the airport by flybe. to 10 since its launch in East Anglia late last year.
