Eastern Airways will launch the three times a day service from Monday.

The airline will also increase its flights to Aberdeen from three to five each weekday and introduce a 0700 BST departure to Newcastle.

Kevin Brown, managing director at Southampton Airport, said: "The new route to Liverpool and additional services to Aberdeen are great news for the region."
