An additional return service between Aberdeen and Manchester has been announced by bmi.

The airline said that the flight will launch on September 3rd and will bring the total number of services between the two destinations to 14 flights every weekday.

It also announced plans to change the timings of certain services from Manchester to Aberdeen and Glasgow, as well as the return flights.

"We are delighted to be introducing these additional services between Manchester and Aberdeen, extending the choice of flight times for travellers and making it the most frequent scheduled service at our home base of Aberdeen," commented Peter Kenworthy, commercial director of bmi regional.

Last month, the carrier announced that UK travellers can now make same-day return journeys between Glasgow and Copenhagen as a result of the launch of a new morning service that connects the two cities via Leeds-Bradford Airport.
