Eastern Airways has completed the switch to standalone airline following the loss of franchise partner Flybe.
The Humberside Airport-headquartered operator has now put tickets for scheduled routes on sale, through its own website.
Eastern maintained its network though last week’s huge collapse, honouring tickets on Flybe services it operated - a pledge that continues until final flights touch down on Tuesday (March 10).
Bosses said it was “recognition of customers’ valued and continued support”.
Roger Hage, Eastern Airways’ general manager for commercial and operations, said: “Delivering regional connectivity is vital for economic prosperity and regional development which supports our ability to provide a quality, cost effective and speedy service to meet the needs of both business and leisure travellers.
“We are pleased to announce that our flights are now on sale as we’ve moved quickly to introduce a new booking system for Eastern Airways flights since becoming independent again.
“Our newly announced routes from Southampton to Manchester, Newcastle and Aberdeen, plus Aberdeen to Birmingham have already been well received nationally in recovering major lost connections which are now bookable at , along with our entire existing network.”
Travel agents can also book Eastern services directly as the airline returns to its original T3 flight code.
