More choice, more variety and local routes for East Anglia’s sun seekers
Thomson and First Choice increase capacity from Norwich Airport by introducing a new route for local holiday makers
Thomson and First Choice are pleased to announce that in summer 2016 they will be increasing capacity at Norwich airport through the introduction of a new route to Paphos, Cyprus.
The move to introduce this new route is part of the UK’s leading holiday company’s strategy to ensure customers across the UK can fly from their local airport and stay at the best hotels in some of the most exciting destinations. The new route will go sale on the 23rd April 2015.
Not only will customers from Norwich be able to fly to some fantastic destinations, but they will also have the opportunity to choose varying durations – not just the standard seven and 14 night stays. Customers travelling from the airport will also have access to some of Thomson and First Choice’s most popular flagship hotels including Thomson’s Sensatori Resort Aphrodite Hills in Cyprus – new for summer 2015 and overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and home to an award winning spa, family swim up rooms and a range of restaurants
Karen Switzer, Director of Aviation Planning for Thomson and First Choice, said of the move: “Adding more capacity from East Anglia with the introduction of a new route to Paphos, Cyprus demonstrates our commitment to Norwich Airport and the local area. Following the success of the additional summer 2015 flights, we know that further demand is there.
“Expanding access to our portfolio of destinations and hotels is a key part of our overall strategy and we hope that this move will enhance the holiday experience for our customers.”
Richard Pace, Operations Director & General Manager of Norwich International Airport commented: “We are delighted that Thomson and First Choice have announced the new flight to Paphos, Cyprus for summer 2016 offering local holidaymakers more choice from their local airport. This decision further demonstrates their commitment to the airport and reflects the high level of demand from customers wishing to fly from Norwich.
