TUI to restart summer holidays from Cardiff Airport at the start of August

Holiday firm TUI has announced holidays to Greece and Spain will resume from Cardiff Airport at the start of August.

The first flight to depart Cardiff Airport will be to Palma, Majorca at 6.15am on Saturday, August 1.

Between then and August 7 there will be flights to:

  • Lanzarote
  • Malaga
  • Alicante
  • Antalya
  • Corfu
  • Dalaman
  • Ibiza
  • Kos
  • Palma
  • Rhodes
  • Tenerife
  • Zakynthos.

The company said Cyprus and Tunisia will be added to the programme throughout August, with a total of 15 destinations from Cardiff by the start of September.

TUI restarted holidays from the UK on July 11 and says that Spain and Greece have been the most searched for destinations.

Richard Sofer, Commercial Director at TUI UK & Ireland, said: “After four months of not taking people on holidays, we are incredibly excited to be back at Cardiff Airport and taking our customers away. We’re starting small, offering holidays to some of our most popular destinations, so that those who want to travel can do so safely.

“Of course, the current circumstances mean we need to be flexible, and we’re ready to adapt our plans if need be. We’re always monitoring local and international Government advice, and we’ll constantly review our holiday programme as we go along.

“Our customers can be sure they’ll be taken care of through every part of their holiday with us – from the flight, to the transfers, and the hotel – particularly with our new Covid-19 Cover included with every booking.

"We realise we’re almost halfway through the summer, so we’re glad we’re finally able to offer a variety of choices so our customers can make the most of what’s left of the warmer months.”

Spencer Birns, Chief Commercial Officer at Cardiff Airport, said: "We are very much looking forward to seeing more passengers travel through the airport in the coming weeks."
