Thomas Cook Airlines is adding Easter 2019 flights from Cardiff airport for the first time, meaning that thousands of people can head to Europe for some spring sunshine.

With 11 flights a week from April 3rd next year until the end of the month, Thomas Cook Airlines has added over 15,000 seats to destinations including Turkey, Majorca, Tenerife, Lanzarote, Cyprus and a new route to Enfidha in Tunisia.

Henry Sunley, commercial director at Thomas Cook Airlines, said: “This is a brand-new Easter programme from Cardiff with our season traditionally beginning on May 1st.

It’s great to be able to reward our customers who fly with us from Cardiff airport with even more choice.” 

Thomas Cook Airlines now flies to 12 sun and beach destinations from Cardiff and has over 120,000 seats on sale throughout 2019.

Spencer Birns, commercial director, Cardiff Airport, added: “It’s excellent to see one of our valued airline partners adding even more choice for our passengers for spring and summer next year.

“Cardiff Airport now welcomes more than 1.5 million passengers annually who are often in search of warmer weather and holiday packages that offer value for money, so Thomas Cook Airlines’ announcement of more seats and a new route to Tunisia for next year is great news for customers who choose to fly from their local airport.”
