Thomson and First Choice launch 29 new routes
Thomson and First Choice are increasing flights from regional airports with 29 new routes announced for summer 2015.
The move, which includes flights to Dubrovnik and Split in Croatia, Marrakesh in Morocco and Antalya in Turkey, is part of the operator’s strategy to boost regional departures.
It includes:
Five new routes from Birmingham Airport to Agadir, Morocco; Chania, Greece; Djerba, Tunisia; Sal, Cape Verde and Porto Santo
Four new routes from Bristol Airport to Santorini, Greece; Pula, Croatia; Marrakech, Morocco and Dubrovnik, Croatia
The re-introduction of the route to Antalya, Turkey from Cardiff Airport
A new route from Humberside Airport to Palma, Majorca
Four new routes from Manchester Airport to Alghero, Italy; Djerba, Tunisia; Split, Croatia and current winter route to La Palma in the Canaries
A new route to Mahon, Menorca from Norwich Airport, as well as the addition of a further weekly flight for existing route Dalaman, Turkey
The operator said Scottish customers will also benefit from five new routes, including Dubrovnik, Croatia and Marrakesh, Morocco from Glasgow; Antalya, Turkey and Rhodes, Greece from Edinburgh, and Faro, Portugal from Aberdeen
Customers will also have the opportunity to choose varying durations – not just the standard seven and 14 night stays.
Karen Switzer, director of Aviation Planning for Thomson and First Choice, said: "The demand for more regional routes is strong, and adding additional capacity from the 20 UK airports we serve as well as introducing 29 new routes demonstrates our commitment to getting holidaymakers to their sun spot more easily."
