Jet2.com announce new route to Tunisia from Newcastle International Airport
Posted on September 5th, 2009
Jet2.com a low fares airline has announced another new route out of Newcastle International Airport. Their new route will be to Monastair in Tunisia. Tickets are on sale now.
This new route comes a week after we announced Jet2.com are starting 5 new routes to Turkey, Gran Canaria, Cyprus, Greece and Egypt.
Jet2.com boss Philip Meeson said “We are committed to offering people in the North an unrivalled choice of routes to fantastic sunshine holiday destinations at friendly departure times.
“The launch of this new service to Tunisia means that people living in and around the North East can get even further afield from their local airport.
“We are the only low fares airline to offer direct scheduled services to Tunisia, meaning that this service will benefit people from Newcastle and surrounding areas. Tunisia is a fantastic addition to our services from the North East. With beautiful beaches, a rich history and year-round sunshine, I am confident that it will be an extremely popular summer holiday destination for us next year. What is more, being out of the Euro-zone, holidaymakers will be able to get even more value for money whilst they are away.”
Newcastle International chief executive Dave Laws said “This continued expansion of Jet2.com’s low cost services from Newcastle International is fantastic news for passengers in the region.
“Further to Jet2.com’s recent announcement to create significant new employment in the region and serve five new destinations; Tunisia is a great addition to the route list and provides our customers with even more choice for summer holidays in 2010.”
Anissa Ramoundi, Tunisian National Tourist Office, said “This is fantastic news for Tunisia. It will provide a real boost to tourism in the country.
“At a time when some airlines are canceling services, it is great to see Jet2.com investing in new brand destinations and we look forward to welcoming new visitors to the country.”
The creation of these routes will lead to an extra Boeing 757 being stationed at Newcastle airport and an extra 100,000 seats being sold a year.
It also provides extra jobs in the North East and is a great boost for the local economy and helps further establish Newcastle Airport as a major UK flight hub.
