Flybe searching for new destination namesakes

Flybe searching for new destination namesakes
Flybe has announced that it is searching for people with names such as Ben Becula or Kirk Wall as it prepares to launch new franchise flights to Scottish destinations from Glasgow Airport.

As part of an agreement with Loganair, Flybe will be offering new flights from Glasgow Airport to destinations including Benbecula, Kirkwall, Islay and Stornoway from October 27th.

The airline announced that the first people with names matching some of its new regional destinations will win free return flights and be invited to the official launch event for the new franchise services.

Mike Rutter, Flybe's chief commercial officer, said: "We realise our search for these two namesakes might be a bit of a tall order but we are remaining optimistic that there is someone, somewhere, out there!

"We'd also invite anyone else who thinks they might persuade us why their name should be considered as a realistic and creative destination namesake for any other Loganair destination flown from Glasgow, to also take part in this somewhat quirky search."

Flybe claims to be the largest and most successful regional airline in Europe, with over 190 routes serving 12 countries.

It offers flights from a number of airports in the UK to destinations including Paris, Barcelona and Prague.
