Thomson Airways return to Liverpool as 'Summer Season
Holiday Flights' get underway
THIS week saw passengers depart on
holidays to Majorca with Thomson and First Choice for the 1st time in 7 years
following the 1st departure of Thomson Airways' summer 2016 weekly flight to
Palma from Liverpool John Lennon Airport.
Local Thomson travel agents helped to put passengers in the holiday mood by
being on hand to welcome them to the start of their holiday at airport check in
handing out a variety of giveaways including free children's meal vouchers for
use in the Airport's Frankie and Benny's restaurant in the departure lounge. The
fun continued with a special airport celebratory cake and ribbon cutting
ceremony ahead of the 1st passenger boarding the aircraft.
It was just over a year ago that Thomson and First Choice announced that they
would be offering the region's holidaymakers the opportunity to travel on
holiday with them to Majorca for Summer 2016 from Liverpool for the 1st time
since 2008. Over the past 12 months, bookings from Liverpool have sold so well,
that the tour operator announced last month that it will be expanding its
Liverpool programme for summer 2017, by adding a further weekly departure to
Palma, in addition to new weekly services to Ibiza and Tenerife. Flights for
summer 2017 are on sale now.
Mark Povall, Director of Air Service Development for LJLA commented:-
"This marks the start of what we believe will be a long and successful
partnership with Thomson and First Choice and it is great to see a Thomson
Airways aircraft back operating from Liverpool once again. There is huge demand
for charter holidays from across the Liverpool City Region and we are delighted
to welcome local holidaymakers as they start their Thomson or First Choice
holiday with the added convenience of flying from their local airport." |
