This is great news for Bournemouth Airport and clearly shows how important the airlines view the growth opportunities available to them in operating regional departures for UK consumers living in areas served by the regional airports. This development is also recognition of the significant redevelopment programme Bournemouth Airport is currently undertaking.

Two of the three new routes from Bournemouth are to Turkey, which is no surprise as it is once again being predicted as one of the countries outside the euro-zone which will prove very popular this year. Given last year’s poor Euro performance holidays to Turkey offer great value for money especially for families.

The Thomas Cook flights will operate to the airports of Antalaya, which serves the resorts on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast line and Dalaman, which is the main entry point for holidays on Turkey’s Lycian coast.

The flights operate on a weekly basis, Antalaya flights operate every Saturday starting 07th May 2011, with Dalaman flights operating every Friday from 06th May 2011.

The third new flight also starting in May is to the popular island of Corfu in Greece. Once again Thomas Cook will be operating a weekly service from Bournemouth, which departs on Mondays starting 02nd May 2011.
