Flybe honours its 10-millionth Passenger out of Southampton airport

 

Europe’s largest regional airline makes VIP presentation to local business woman on becoming Flybe’s 10-millionth passenger to travel through Southampton International.

 

Flybe, Europe’s largest regional airline and the UK’s number one domestic carrier, this morning honoured the 10-millionth passenger to use its extensive route network to and from Southampton International Airport with a presentation to Bournemouth resident, Janet Cauchi, who returned from Edinburgh.

 

Mrs Cauchi was presented with flowers and a 12-month complimentary pass to the airline’s Executive Lounge at Southampton along with a certificate to commemorate this historic milestone by Flybe’s Customer Focus Regional Manager, Jane Cullen Thomas.

 

Flybe's Chief Commercial Officer, Mike Rutter, said: "We are delighted to celebrate Ms Cauchi being our 10-millionth Flybe passenger to fly on one of the 720 flights a week we are offering this summer out of our Southampton base.”

 

Dave Lees, Managing Director of Southampton Airport, added: "As Flybe's largest hub, we are delighted to have welcomed the airline’s 10-millionth passenger through our airport today.  It is even more special to be celebrating this key milestone in 2010, as this is the airport's Centenary Year.  The fact that 10-million passengers have breezed through Southampton Airport on Flybe flights demonstrates just how popular their services are with both business and leisure passengers."

 

Ms Cauchi has been taking advantage of Flybe’s daily service between Southampton and Edinburgh on a weekly basis for a number of months now and enthusiastically comments that the service allows business travellers further opportunity to make day return trips given its regular departure times.  Commenting on how it feels to be the airline’s 10- millionth passenger, she said: “It has quite taken my breath away. This week has seen many of my colleagues travelling between Edinburgh and Southampton with Flybe and it has made us all smile that I am the 10-millionth person!”

 

Flybe’s extensive Summer 2010 programme to and from Southampton offers a comprehensive choice of 36 routes on up to 720 flights a week with fares from £29.99 one way including taxes and airport charges. Tickets can be booked at www.flybe.com

 

Mr Rutter concludes: “The ongoing success and popularity of our flights to and from Southampton reflects Flybe’s commitment to the South Coast of England and to listening and responding to the needs of our passengers and we look forward to our continued passenger growth at what is our largest UK base.”
