Jet2.com is bringing the island of Sardinia within easy reach of Manchester, following an announcement that it will begin direct services there for summer 2009.
With flights on sale today from just GBP49.99 one way including taxes, the leading low fare airline now flies to 16 destinations direct from the UK’s third largest airport.
Flying into Olbia (translated as ‘happy town’) on the island’s North East coast, the area is famous for having one of the most beautiful stretches of coast in the Mediterranean with white sands and crystal clear water. Olbia also boasts a good selection of bars, restaurants and shops.
Speaking about the route launch, Philip Meeson, boss of Jet2.com, commented: “Sardinia has proved to be an extremely popular summer destination when we launched the route from our Leeds Bradford base this May which is why we decided to extend this service to Manchester.
“With its white beaches, charismatic towns, picturesque harbours and delicious cuisine, it is a destination that can truly offer something for everyone. I’m confident that it will be an extremely successful route, further increasing tourism to Sardinia and giving people within reach of Manchester Airport even more choice when it comes to their holiday destination.”
Fares from Manchester to Sardinia start from GBP49.99 one way including taxes. Flights will depart Manchester to Sardinia once a week with the first flight departing on 2-May-09.
