www.Parctel.com: Thousands of North Easterners are expected to make their great Easter getaway from Durham Tees Valley Airport this bank holiday weekend.
Around 6000 passengers are expected to fly over the Easter weekend (Fri 6th – Mon 9th) to destinations including Tenerife, Faro, Alicante, Malaga, Palma, Barcelona Girona, Dublin and Amsterdam.
Emma Ormerod, marketing and promotions executive, Durham Tees Valley Airport comments “Passengers over the Easter weekend are taking advantage of the increasing range of destinations and city breaks offered from their local airport. The flexibility and affordability that low cost airlines such as flyglobepspan and Ryanair are offering to people is the reason why more and more fly over the busy bank holiday.”
Only this week four routes—to Palma, Alicante, Faro and Malaga— commenced with award winning airline, flyglobespan. This is just the beginning, as in June the programme will be greatly expanded, with the introduction of more flights to five more destinations Ibiza, Nice, Menorca, Jersey and Pula (Croatia) while the frequency of flights to their original destinations will increase considerably.
Ryanair has launched a brand new service to Barcelona Girona, a move it hopes will prove as popular as its direct flights to Dublin and this summer will also see the arrival of another new airline, Wizz Air, offering low cost flights to Warsaw in Poland.
The airport will commence its summer charter flying programme next month with operators offering over 16 popular holiday destinations from Durham Tees Valley including Dalaman and Bodrum in Turkey, Bulgaria, Reus (Costa Dorada), and Lanzarote.
