Jet2.com announces new Blackpool to Menorca route
24 July 2008
The north’s low cost airline has today announced a brand new route from Blackpool to Menorca, in line with the launch of its summer ‘09 schedule, taking the total European destinations served from the North West base up to ten.
The Balearic Island of Menorca is the latest route to be launched from Blackpool International Airport, which already includes routes to Spain, the Canary Islands, and new ski destination Geneva, marking Jet2.com’s commitment to increasing services from its northern bases.
Flying direct from Blackpool to Menorca means the region’s holidaymakers can enjoy regular scheduled low cost flights to the pearl of the Mediterranean to enjoy the unspoilt white beaches, sunshine, fresh food, a rich history and beautiful villages.
In the heart of the Mediterranean, Menorca is the second largest of the ever popular Balearic Islands. Ideal for couples and families, Menorca offers a more relaxed and traditional atmosphere than the neighbouring Majorca and Ibiza. With beautiful coves and colourful coral, interesting history and exciting nightlife, the island is the ideal location to soak up the Spanish sun.
The announcement of this wonderful new route is in line with the launch of Jet2.com’s summer 09 schedule going on sale today, giving the people of Lancashire an array of fantastic destinations to choose from, at best fare prices, for their next year’s holiday.
Jet2.com already flies to many exciting sun destinations such as Alicante, Faro, Ibiza, Majorca, Malaga, Murcia and Tenerife as well as ski destination Geneva and the city of Belfast from Blackpool; a positive indication that Jet2.com won’t be cutting back on introducing new destinations as part of its increasing network.
Philip Meeson, boss at Jet2.com said: “As the north’s low cost airline, we are always seeking to broaden the choice of destinations from all of our bases.
“Blackpool is proving to be an increasingly popular departure airport, so of course we want to ensure our faithful customers – plus any new holidaymakers – have as many wonderful destinations to choose from as possible.”
David Kershaw, Chief Executive at Blackpool International Airport said
“We are delighted that Jet2.com is continuing to grow the destinations on offer from Blackpool Airport with the launch of the new summer 2009 service to Mahon, Menorca. With an extensive choice of destinations direct from Blackpool International this is great news for residents of Blackpool, Lancashire and The Lakes, further reducing the need to make a long road or rail journey to an alternative airport. Not only that, it’s an ideal opportunity to showcase Blackpool as a leisure destination to other European countries.”
