Angry passengers have hit out after budget airline Flybe axed a number of popular routes and blamed the controversial terminal tax for killing off routes.

Since the much-vaunted arrival of the low-cost airline in the city in January 2005, the number of scheduled flights to a range of UK and European destinations has more than doubled.

Passenger numbers have boomed with holidaymakers joining business people on flights out of the city to a number of destinations including Amsterdam, Paris, Belfast, Edinburgh, Malaga and Alicante.

But the introduction of a controversial £3-a-flight terminal tax for passengers in April has led to the withdrawal of some flights this winter including Alicante/ Malaga.
