The Humberside Airport-based airline will stop operating the service next month - but could potentially reinstate it next year.

All Eastern Airways flights between Aberdeen and Newcastle will be scrapped in just a few weeks. The popular route was reintroduced in September 2021 following a year-long pause due to the pandemic. Operating six days a week, it provided increased connectivity between the two regions for the transport-reliant oil and gas and renewable industries.

At the time, Aberdeen International Airport and Eastern Airways hailed the service as a “welcome and much-needed boost” to businesses in both areas. According to the Humberside Airport-based airline’s schedule, the last flight from Aberdeen to Newcastle will be on June 30. The service will no longer be in operation from then on – the reason for which is still unclear.

Flights between the two cities could potentially be reinstated next year with some trips already scheduled for January 8.

In the meantime, the route between Aberdeen and Newcastle will continue to be serviced by Loganair six days a week – from Monday to Friday and on Sundays.
