Thomson Airways Adds New Routes from East Anglia

Thomson and First Choice have revealed that for Summer 2013 they will be doubling capacity at Norwich International Airport through the introduction of three brand new routes to Dalaman in Turkey, Enfidha in Tunisia and Tenerife - as well as the addition of another weekly flight on its existing route to the Balearic island of Palma. . An increase in capacity on the existing Norwich to Corfu route will also see a further 50 seats a week available to local customers.

The move to introduce these routes is part of the strategy of the UK’s largest tour operator to ensure more customers across the country can fly from their local airport. Not only will customers from East Anglia now be able to visit new destinations, the frequencies will also provide the opportunity to choose varying durations - not just the standard seven and 14 night stays.

“Doubling capacity demonstrates our continued commitment to the region and Norwich International Airport, which has always been a popular departure point for our customers. The increase in capacity comes as a direct result of customer feedback - our customers want to fly from their local airport,” said Paul Cooper, Airport Negotiations Manager for Thomson and First Choice. “Modernising our operations across the UK is a key part of our overall strategy and this move is definitely a step in the right direction towards creating an enhanced holiday experience for our customers.”
