The new route between Edinburgh and Cardiff will operate with three daily flights from £64 one way and £99 return, including a 23kg check-in bag and drinks and snacks on-board.

CityJet has opened a number of new routes to Cardiff Airport this year, including flights from Glasgow which operate up to twice daily.

Christine Ourmières, CityJet’s Chief Executive Officer, said:- “This is an exciting time for CityJet and our expanding Scottish network.

“We hope that our new route from Edinburgh to Cardiff will provide vital connections for both business and leisure passengers in Scotland. We are keen to invest in Edinburgh and we hope people will take advantage of the new daily flights – with three ideally times flights to choose from – to the city of Cardiff.”
