Great news for Norwich, nice to see more and more regional airports getting more and routes.
I am still very surprised that Humberside only has a KLM AMS flight and Eastern Aberdeen flights. Surely some sort of airline has got to pick up a London/Dublin/Belfast/The Spanish Costas, routes soon.
I agree there used to be a service Humberside-Norwich-heathrow for many years by Air UK. When it went those two regions were left with no link to the capital, and it still takes a long time to get to london from both places. Heathrow also lost all transfer business to Amsterdam, as it has from many regional airports.
good news about the Air Wales NWI-DUB/CWL link. I have actually wanted to travel from the southwest to East Anglia before and its not easy at all ! Ended up flying CWL-LCY plus a hire car.
