The airline announced the route at the beginning of October, and will operate flights twice-weekly between Newcastle and Paris Orly until the end of March 2022.

Charlotte Dumesnil, director of sales, distribution and alliances, said: “We are delighted to announce Vueling’s first flight between Newcastle International Airport and Paris Orly today. Vueling’s goal is to keep on contributing with the tourism industry, and the choice to add new routes between the UK and France goes precisely in this direction.

“The desire to travel is still present and we are prepared to offer our customers new popular destinations, for both holidaymakers and business passengers, as well as great value fares for all types of travellers”.

Leon McQuaid, head of aviation development at Newcastle International Airport said: “The start of Vueling’s flights to Paris today further enhances the region’s connectivity and adds even more flights to this major European city from the Airport.
