Robin Hood Airport northern lights flight
23.10.09
Passengers at Robin Hood Airport are being offered a chance to go in search of the magical Northern Lights on a flight with a difference. On March 16 next year, passengers will board a three hour flight with two astronomers, as they search for the Northern Lights, a natural display often seen in the Polar Regions. The plane, which will depart at 21:00h, will head north, over Aberdeen and the Shetland Isles to a point in the North Atlantic between the UK and Southern Norway.
Passengers will have an hour long pre-flight briefing from the astronomers, one of which is televisions Pete Lawrence from the BBC ‘Sky at Night’ programme. Jodi Stow, marketing and communications manager for Robin Hood Airport said: ‘If the conditions are right this could be an unforgettable flight. The tour company, Omega Holidays, say there is an 80 percent chance of seeing the spectacular natural light show and will have an astronomer on board to explain any sightings.'
‘This is a really unusual destination but a very popular one as it makes a very unique gift or Christmas present. Previous flights to the Northern Lights have been booked up well in advance.’ Visit www.omega-holidays.com or call 01524 37500 for further details.
