The new aircraft has been introduced as part of Flybe's winter programme which offers 208 flights per week across nine routes, including 24 flights to London City.
Roy Kinnear, Flybe’s chief commercial officer said: “This winter, we are especially delighted to give those customers travelling with us to London City from Edinburgh an enhanced service by adding some jet services on this important business route at peak times.
"Our schedule is built around providing our customers with a wide choice of convenient travel options to the destinations they want.
