Eastern Airways Expands Dijon Network

UK regional carrier Eastern Airways has today expanded its network from it Dijon base with a new three times weekly summer service to Southampton, its first international destination from the French regional airport.

“Part of our expansion plans for Dijon was to provide a link to the South of England, and Southampton is the ideal gateway for us to offer this link for business travellers and tourists travelling between the two regions. Any travellers who have business in Dijon and beyond can also make use of our onward services to Bordeaux, Toulouse and Nantes from Dijon,” said Kay Ryan, Commercial Director Eastern Airways.

The city of Dijon is the capital of the Cote d’Or and Bourgogne region and industry includes manufacturing, automobile, electronics, machinery and pharmaceuticals. The region has some of the country’s best wine producing vineyards, and of course Dijon is famous for its mustard. In September 2010, Eastern Airways first set up a dedicated French base in Dijon with the launch of domestic flights to Bordeaux and Toulouse. Daily flights were recently added to Nantes.
