Holidaymakers will have the choice of 35 flights to sunshine destinations in the 2005 charter programme from Inverness Airport.

Direct charter flights from the airport to European holiday locations will be operated by Thomson, Transun and Newmarket Holidays between April and November next year.

Thomson will operate 12 flights to Majorca and Turkey in 2005 while Transun are offering 19 flights to destinations including Madeira, Malta, Sardinia and Cyprus. Newmarket will operate four flights to Portugal, Sicily and Lake Garda.

Inverness Airport Manager James Walton said: “The holiday charter programme at Inverness continues to expand offering holidaymakers the convenience of travelling from their local airport.

“In the past many people have travelled to Edinburgh and Glasgow to start their holiday. Now they can fly from their own doorstep to a wide range of destinations,” he said.

Alex Johnson , Commercial and Marketing Manager at HIAL, added: “Holiday charters are playing an important part in the growth of Inverness Airport, complementing the expanded range of scheduled services on offer.

“We hope that 2005 will see even more people choosing to start their holiday in the sun from Inverness,” said Mr Johnson.
