Jet2 announces new route from Blackpool to Menorca
Jet2 announced a brand new route from Blackpool to Menorca, in line with the launch of its summer ‘09 schedule.

 

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.

 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.”
