Early bookings for summer 2012 holiday flights from Norwich International have out performed the UK market according to the latest sales data just released.
The figures indicate a fantastic year on year increase in passengers booked to the end of January. With some routes being over 50% up against a UK market which is reported to be down 14%.
The best performing destinations are Bulgaria, Madeira and Turkey with one in June already 80% sold and another reporting double the number of passengers booked compared to sales at this stage last year.
In addition the new scheduled routes to Exeter, Isle of Man, Newquay and Southampton recently launched by Loganair/Flybe are all performing ahead of expectation with excellent early sales.
Andrew Bell, the airport’s Chief Executive commented: “The appeal of flying from your local airport cannot be underestimated as these early booking figures indicate. Given the current economic climate it is very pleasing for sales to be significantly ahead of this time last year and we are delighted to work with leading tour operators and airlines to bring some of the most popular destinations to the holidaymakers in East Anglia.”
