Tenerife doubling capacity in 2015
Thomson and First Choice are doubling capacity at Norwich International airport throughout the 2015 winter season with the addition of a second weekly flight to Tenerife.
The move to introduce the extra flight is part of the UK’s largest tour operator’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. This follows on from the recent announcement of the introduction of a weekly service to Menorca every Saturday for summer 2015.
This second weekly flight to Tenerife means local holiday makers will have the opportunity to choose varying durations including 3, 4, 10 and 11 night stays in addition to the traditional 7, 14, 21 and 28 nights which have been available for many years.
Tenerife is home to some of Thomson and First Choice’s most highly scoring flagship hotels including; the five star Thomson Sensatori Resort Tenerife, which gives customers a luxury holiday experience, featuring world class spas and gourmet dining and the First Choice Holiday Village Tenerife which delivers everything a family could want in one place – great entertainment, food, kids clubs and lots of activities to keep the whole family occupied.
Andrew Bell, the airport’s Chief Executive, said “We are thrilled that Thomson and First Choice have announced the additional flight to Tenerife next winter. This decision further demonstrates their commitment to the airport and reflects the high level of demand from customers wishing to fly from Norwich.”
Karen Switzer, Director of Aviation Planning said of the move: “Increasing our capacity from Norwich Airport demonstrates our commitment to the region. Following the success of the introduction of the Menorca route from Norwich this summer and similar routes across a number of regional airports, we know that the demand is there. “Expanding access to our portfolio of destinations and hotels as well as offering more frequent flights and flexible durations is a key part of our overall strategy. We hope that by adding an extra weekly flight to Tenerife it will enhance the holiday experience for our customers who will now have greater access to some of our key properties.”
