Holiday flights to Jersey from Inverness have been confirmed for summer 2009 following a successful inaugural programme this year.
Airways Holidays, which operated from Inverness for the first time this year, is now offering early booking for its 2009 programme from the Highland capital. Flights will operate weekly on Saturdays from 27 June 2009 with the final return flight from Jersey operating on 29 August 2009.
The Channel Island destination proved popular with holidaymakers this year with its combination of spectacular scenery, safe clean beaches, fantastic food and a warm climate just a short journey from home.
Inverness Airport manager James Walton said: “Jersey has proved to be a popular destination with Highland holidaymakers this year and contributed to making August the busiest month ever at Inverness with over 75,000 passengers using the airport, an increase of more than 7% on August 2007.
“With the 2009 Airways Holidays programme now confirmed, we expect there will be strong demand from people keen to enjoy the convenience of flying from their local airport and to benefit from the early offers available.”
Gill McCarthy of Airways Holidays said: “Jersey is the largest and most southerly of the Channel Islands, only nine miles by five and nestled in the sparkling bay of St. Malo. Clear water and beaches surround some 45 miles of coastline - Jersey's greatest natural treasure. Wide sandy bays in the south are perfect for water sports while dramatic cliffs in the north offer spectacular scenery and stunning vistas.
“With a choice of over 190 restaurants and an abundance of talented chefs, Jersey also has a reputation as being the island of good food. There is also plenty of nightlife and shopping in the island’s capital, St Helier so all in all an ideal holiday destination for everyone - at any time of the year.”
