Thomson to launch new summer 2017 Humberside to Tenerife flights

Thomson and First Choice is set to increase capacity and introduce new flights at Humberside Airport for summer 2017.

Amongst the summer programme will be a new service to Tenerife with Thomson Airways.

The move to introduce the new flights, which will depart each Monday, is part of the holiday company’s strategy to ensure customers across the UK can fly from their local airport.

The new routes will build on the introduction of flights to the Canary Island, which will begin in November.

Karen Switzer, director of aviation planning for Thomson and First Choice, said: “Adding more capacity from Humberside Airport with the introduction of new flights to Tenerife demonstrates our commitment to the airport and the surrounding area.

“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.”

Deborah Zost, Humberside Airport’s managing director, added: “Convenient, summer flights to Tenerife, resulting in a year-round service to this popular Canary Island, are ideal from Humberside and great news for the region’s holidaymakers.

“This latest development with Thomson Airways expanding its programme from Humberside is a great vote of confidence for the airport and demonstrates the potential they see in developing flights and holidays from our region.”
