New Routes Planned For Edinburgh Airport
Edinburgh Airport is to launch three new routes which will hopefully see an increase of about 8,000 new passengers use the already busy hub.
Thomson Holidays and First Choice are to be offering a new service to the Greek island of Rhodes, this is going to be starting in the summer from the Scottish capital.
They are also going to be starting two new routes to the Canary Islands of Gran Canaria and Lanzarote. This announcement follows Thomson’s increase of capacity at Edinburgh by 23,000seats. Kevin Brown, Edinburgh Airport’s managing director, said: “These new routes are further demonstration of our commitment to providing the widest choice of routes for our passengers. This investment in Edinburgh Airport is very welcome and we look forward to working with Thomson and First Choice to further develop sun destination offerings.”
Paul Cooper, Thomson Airways airport negotiations manager, said: “We are delighted to be operating Gran Canaria as a new destination from Edinburgh and a new route to Rhodes this summer. The new offerings will enable our customers from Scotland to have a wider choice of destinations and demonstrates our commitment to local airports. This move reflects the high level of demand from customers wishing to fly from Edinburgh.”
