New flights to Majorca from Inverness
HOLIDAY airline group Thomson/First Choice is to launch new summer flights to Majorca from Inverness next year.
The new service will run for six weeks, starting on June 16, 2017, and will go on sale today.
Customers travelling on the new route to Majorca will now have access to some of Thomson and First Choice’s most popular flagship hotels, including Thomson’s 4T Family Life Coma Gran and First Choice’s 5Sun Holiday Village Majorca.
The news comes just weeks before British Airways launches a new daily service from Inverness to Heathrow, and KLM introduces daily flights to Amsterdam Schiphol from the Highland capital.
Karen Switzer, director of aviation planning for Thomson and First Choice, said: "We are committed to responding to all of our customers’ needs which is why we have introduced this peak season route to one of our most popular destinations, Majorca. The addition of the route will give customers in the Highlands more flexibility when deciding on their 2017 summer holiday."
Graeme Bell, general manager at Inverness Airport, said: "Thomson and First Choice are two of the biggest and best names in the holiday industry and we are delighted to welcome them to Inverness Airport in summer 2017. Majorca is a fantastic addition to our holiday route network and the launch of these new flights means that holidaymakers looking to enjoy a summer break can now start their journey at Inverness Airport.
"We look forward to welcoming Thomson and First Choice next summer and would encourage holidaymakers to book early as these flights are likely to prove very popular.
"In the longer term, we would hope that this new route leads to further expansion by Thomson and First Choice and an even wider choice of holiday destinations from Inverness Airport."
