Thomas Cook Airlines has announced a tie-up with Flybe to offer more connections to long-haul flights out of Manchester Airport.
The tour operator will use Flybe’s flights from Aberdeen, Belfast, Edinburgh, Exeter, Glasgow, Inverness, Isle of Man, Norwich and Southampton to feed into Thomas Cook’s Manchester routes to the Caribbean ad USA.
The northern airport will be developed into a hub for Thomas Cook to reduce the airport travelling times for holidaymakers.
This winter the routes will include connections to St Lucia, Antigua, Barbados, Cancun, Florida, Las Vegas, Mexico and Goa.
“As we develop Manchester Airport as our UK hub – working in partnership with Flybe – we’re pleased to be able to offer more flexibility and choice for our customers, competing with the very best scheduled and charter carriers with a range of connections ensuring they don’t have to rely on London’s airports,” said Christoph Debus, Thomas Cook Group’s head of air travel.
Ken O’Toole, chief commercial officer at Manchester Airport’s owners MAG added: “Manchester will be the only airport outside of London to host Caribbean flights this winter and Flybe will be able to provide passengers access to those flights from across their extensive network in the UK and Ireland. It’s another step forward in our drive to bring more passengers to Manchester and will support new and existing long haul routes from Thomas Cook.”
