Manston Airport reveals summer destinations including Italy, Portugal and Madeira
The first summer flight took off to Lake Garda in Italy last weekend, with further charter flights to Lake Garda on July 10 and September 4, to Croatia on May 16 and September 26, to Portugal on May 23, and Naples on October 8.
Tour operator Discover Jersey has flights every Saturday to the Channel Island between May 14 and September 17, while Atlantic Holidays offers Madeira on June 13 and 20.
Also, there is Flybe’s daily scheduled service to Edinburgh, plus its new route to Belfast City which starts May 26.
Manston Airport’s chief executive officer Charles Buchanan said: "This is the largest number of sunshine destinations we have ever offered local holidaymakers.
"From charming Croatia to relaxing Jersey, people in Kent now have a great choice of
holidays at the lowest prices – all accessible from Kent’s own airport.
"Madeira is very popular this year. It has just about the most perfect climate – it’s never too hot and averages a maximum of 24°C during the summer months and a minimum of 17°C during the winter.
"One of the safest holiday destinations in the world, it’s just 35 miles long by 13 miles wide and occupies a superb position in the Atlantic Ocean.
"Only three hours away from Manston, and with excellent flight times, our new service will appeal both to Kent families wanting a high-quality package holiday and to those who want flight-only to get out to their timeshare."
