Flights to Munich plus 22 extra Cardiff Airport journeys

Flybe announced a 10-year agreement with Cardiff Airport that will create 50 jobs

Flights to Munich and 22 extra weekly journeys will begin from Cardiff Airport on Monday.

The expansion comes as Flybe launches its second 118-seat Embraer Jet at the airport in Rhoose, Vale of Glamorgan.

The 22 extra flights will increase journeys to Cork, Dublin, Dusseldorf, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Milan and Paris, while flights to and from Munich will depart five days a week.

Flybe has grown operations from Cardiff after opening a base there in June.

The airport's managing director Debra Barber said she was confident the airline would "continue to thrive" from the base.
