Avro sees 'phenomenal' growth for Turkey - Travel Trade Gazette
Seat-only operator Avro has increased its capacity to Turkey by 100% for summer this year, offering 200,000 seats.
It is flying to the destination for the first time from Luton, Birmingham, East Midlands, Newcastle and Glasgow, and expanding its programme from Gatwick and Manchester.
Managing director Michael Vinales said the expansion could make Avro the largest seat-only operator to Turkey this year.
“This increase follows feedback from our best supporting agents and is in line with demand we’ve seen throughout 2009 which has propelled the destination to our current top spot,” he said.
Luton flights start in May for the whole summer season to Dalaman and Bodrum twice weekly on Monday and Friday.
Birmingham to Dalaman flights will operate three times weekly and Glasgow, East Midlands and Newcastle to Dalaman once weekly.
The Manchester to Dalaman programme is doubled to seven flights per week and capacity to Bodrum is increased from Gatwick and Manchester.
Flights to Antalya are increased to three days per week throughout the whole summer season.
Vinales added: “The success of our Gatwick and Manchester programme with multiple daily flights has been nothing short of phenomenal and we are confident we will be able to announce even further increases in capacity in the lead-up and during the summer season.”
