Next stop Majorca as flights from Highland capital target fun in the sun
HIGHLANDERS thinking ahead to NEXT year's summer holidays are being teased with the prospect of fun in the sun with a new package deal service from Inverness.
Thomson and First Choice will launch the six-week route to Majorca for summer 2017, starting next year on June 16.
Tickets have now gone on sale.
This news comes just weeks before British Airways launches a new daily service from Inverness to Heathrow (starting on May 3) and KLM launches daily flights to Amsterdam Schiphol from the Highland capital (May 17).
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.”
Customers travelling on the new route will have access to some of Thomson and First Choice’s most popular hotels, including Thomson’s 4T Family Life Coma Gran and First Choice’s 5Sun Holiday Village Majorca.
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.
“Expanding access to our portfolio of destinations and hotels is a key part of our overall strategy and will enhance the holiday experience for our customers.”
