A flight route from Aberdeen to London is to be axed next month.

Roger Hage, Eastern Airways' general manager commercial and operations, said: "Regrettably, we will be withdrawing the Aberdeen to London City and Newcastle to London City routes from 7 April 2019.

"We had adjusted the flying programme in January to operate the Aberdeen-London City route via Newcastle to also give a direct Newcastle-London City service on the aircraft in a bid to improve the route's revenue performance.

"Disappointingly for all parties, the required fare yields to make such a service sustainable have not been achieved.
