Luxair served Manchester as a stop en route to Dublin until 2007. The airport-pair then went unserved until 2016, when flybe launched it.
flybe operated it until the carrier’s end earlier this year. It used both Dash-8-400s and Embraer 175s.
flybe steadily grew seat load factor, ending 2019 with an estimated 78%, more or less its system average. This was aided by reducing capacity by 16% versus 2017, with just 1.6% fewer passengers.

Luxair just pulled this route! I booked flight for august and they have just cancelled!
That’s a shame! Hopefully it’ll come back again.
It now seems that Luxair will start Manchester on 2 September, with flights bookable after this period.
