Avro expands Turkey flying programme
An additional Gatwick charter to Antalya is being laid on by seat-only firm Avro this summer.
The Wednesday departure will run between May 27 and October 18 following increased dynamic packaging demand for holidays to Turkey.
The flight will complement a Sunday service and twice weekly flights from Manchester as well as Birmingham departures, where capacity has been increased.
Avro will run charters to Dalaman from Gatwick six days a week – up to three times daily – and from Manchester five days a week.
Flights to Bodrum will also operate from Gatwick, Manchester and Birmingham.
Prices to Turkey start at £139 per person inclusive of 20 kilos of baggage.
Avro managing director Michael Vinales said: “Turkey continues to thrive in the DP market as we are able to offer agents the good day time slots that families demand over the summer period.
“It’s also a destination which agents feel increasingly confident about booking as many repeat visitors know exactly which properties they want to book, making it easier for the agent to component package.
“We have needed to increase our frequency as some families are looking for more flexible durations possibly to fit in more with their reduced budget. They may not be able to take that traditional 14 night break but they still want to travel.”
