Thomas Cook To Fly From Belfast To Mexico
Thomas Cook has confirmed a four-flight mini-series from Belfast to Mexico.
Cancun in Mexico is the fourth new long-haul taster destination by Thomas Cook Airlines from Belfast International, with Cuba, Las Vegas and Florida all lined up for W16-S17.
Sharon Confue, Thomas Cook Airlines' head of sales, said: "No other UK leisure airline is investing as much time and effort in their cabin quality, aircraft and relationships with the trade as we are. Agents are key to our continued improvement and that's why we're running this series of events and fly-arounds to make sure we can bring that product to life for those who are so important to helping sell it to their customers."
Uel Hoey, business development director, Belfast International Airport, said: "We are thrilled to note this significant expansion of Thomas Cook's direct long haul programme from Belfast – now across Four different routes in 2017.
"We know that there is strong market demand from Northern Ireland for long haul holidays and we will continue to work closely with Thomas Cook, and other partners, to develop the widest possible choice for local holidaymakers, literally from the convenience of their own doorstep at Belfast International Airport."
