New Tenerife link for Liverpool

Liverpool John Lennon Airport is to get a new daily link to Tenerife thanks to low-cost airline Flyglobespan.

The service will begin in November, with tickets to the sunny Canary Islands location available from £49.99 including taxes.

Flyglobespan, which already operates out of Glasgow, Edinburgh and London Stansted, has announced that the Liverpool hub is to become its next base and the Tenerife service is part of the expansion.

Noting that Flyglobespan also offers daily flights to Tenerife from Stansted and Glasgow, company chairman Tom Dalrymple said the holiday destination was proving very popular with customers.

He added: "As well as the lowest possible fares, we give our customers modern aircraft, interesting destinations and, of course, pre-allocated seating which many others in the sector don't do."

Managing director of John Lennon Airport, Neil Pakey, welcomed the airline's move, saying: "We are certain that the new service to Tenerife will prove extremely popular for passengers from the region seeking year-round sunshine."

Flyglobespan, a subsidiary of The Globespan Group, was established in 1974 and was last year voted Airline of the Year by airport operator BAA Scotland.
