Wednesday, November 6, 2019 @ 12:55 PM
BRITISH low-cost airline Jet2 has announced plans to open a base at Tenerife South airport, which will increase seats for passengers from the central regional terminal by around 330,000.
During low season, about 200,000 seats will be offered, rising to 330,000 in summer, nearly doubling the number available across airlines throughout the islands, which will rise to 773,000 in winter alone.
Canary Island regional tourism minister Yaiza Castilla calls this 'great news', since it will mean a total of 1.8 million flight seats available to and from the archipelago year-round.
Of these, 1.1 million will be Jet2 passengers between April and October 2020, not counting the rest of the year, Sra Castilla said following a meeting she and regional president Ángel Víctor Torres held at London's World Travel Market (WTM) with Jet2's managing director for airports and tourism organisations, Janice Matter, and head of business development, Ian Doubtire.
