Norwich International Airport has formally unveiled brand new Flybe routes to Alicante and Malaga, with tickets for the region’s first sunshine flights in almost a decade now on sale at www.flybe.com .
The new routes are made possible following a deal between Norwich Airport owners Rigby Group and Flybe last month. The Alicante and Malaga services will both operate twice a week and the return of Saturday flights to Jersey for peak summer, combined with the other holiday flights available at the airport, brings the total number of holiday flights out of Norwich up to 20 per week.
Andrew Bell, who heads up RCA (Regional and City Airports), the airport management division of Rigby Group PLC and owners of Norwich, said: “We are delighted to be able to announce that the 2016 summer sunshine routes to Alicante and Malaga are on sale. A lot of hard work has gone into securing these routes for the region, and we’re confident that the ability to fly direct from the East – avoiding the stress and travel involved in the major London airports – will once again prove to be a big hit with our customers.
“Combining these scheduled sunshine routes with our existing business routes and growing number of holiday flights means Norwich is getting ready for a very busy 2016.”
Tickets to Alicante and Malaga are available for booking at www.flybe.com and are currently available for travel from 27th March through to 30th September 2016.
