Cardiff Airport's new long-haul flights take off
03.05.06
A new range of long-haul flights was launched from Cardiff Airport yesterday. Thomsonfly is offering weekly flights to Mexico, the Dominican Republic and Florida from the Welsh airport.
From this summer customers can fly from Cardiff airport to Cancun, Mexico, and Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic and there will be an extra flight to Orlando each week. The first flight from Cardiff to Mexico left yesterday at 08:00.
Thomson said the new long-haul flights from Cardiff will put an end to long trips down the M4 to Gatwick and Heathrow for travellers from Wales and the west country. It expects more than 17,000 customers to take up the opportunity to travel to long-haul destinations from Cardiff this summer.
Encouraged by strong sales, Thomsonfly said it was committed to continue operating the long-haul flights from Cardiff next year.
