Mr Cobb said: ‘We are very happy to welcome flybe to the Island and the routes show the continued strength of the recovery to the aviation industry and passenger volumes to our airport. We believe these routes will add choice and flexibility of which can only be of benefit to the island – something which I know is welcomed, based on customer feedback.’
