Airline opens up mainland Europe to Yorkshire
Flight and travel info: 07 May 2008Thomas Cook Airlines has announced that it plans to expand further into the continental European market.
According to the carrier, it will launch a number of new flights from Leeds Bradford International Airport (LBIA) later this year.
The services will include flights to places such as Greece, Turkey, Cyprus and Malta and will commence operations this summer.
Meanwhile, routes to Spanish destinations - including the Canary Islands and the Balearics - will also be added to its schedules.
This means that people who live in the vicinity of Leeds will be able to go on holiday directly from their local airport.
Tony Hallwood, commercial and aviation development director at LBIA, commented: "We know for many customers across the Yorkshire region, flying from their regional airport is high priority when booking their holiday."
Frank Pullman, managing director of Thomas Cook Airlines, added that the carrier is "looking forward" to serving holidaymakers from Yorkshire.
According to figures from the Civil Aviation Authority, 241 million passengers passed through British airports last year
