NEW WEEKLY DIRECT CHARTER TO ARUBA FROM GATWICK FOR SUMMER 2009
Extra flights are to be introduced to the island of Aruba as growing numbers
of British travellers discover this corner of the Dutch Caribbean.
Thomsonfly will operate a weekly direct flight to Aruba from London Gatwick
from May 6, 2009, replacing the existing fortnightly service operated
by its sister company First Choice.
The new weekly charter will depart on Wednesdays from May 6 until October
21, 2009. This flight is in addition to the fortnightly direct Manchester
service, which will continue to be operated by First Choice, and will
depart on Thursdays from May 7 – October 15, 2009.
The London Gatwick and Manchester flights are available for travellers
booking their Aruba holiday with Thomson Faraway Shores, Thomson Platinum
Collection and Thomson A La Carte and First Choice Tropical, First Choice
Premier and First Choice Wedding brochures.
Joanna Walding, UK Director for the Aruba Tourism Authority commented;
“We are delighted with the news of the new summer weekly charter
from London Gatwick. Following the success of First Choice’s fortnightly
direct flights to Aruba from Manchester and Gatwick this additional direct
service gives British sun-seekers more choice and flexibility in their
holiday. Aruba is now more accessible than ever.”
Thomson is offering seven nights all inclusive at the Divi Aruba from
£1045 per person, based on two adults sharing, flying from London
Gatwick on May 6, 2009.
