Flight-only specialist announces 2009 programme from Bristol International
Flight-only specialist, Teleticket, has moved to fill a gap in the market created by the collapse of XL, responding to demand for holidays from Bristol International Airport by introducing a programme of flights for 2009.
Teleticket’s announcement of flights to Tenerife, Las Palmas, Paphos and Lanzarote follows calls from the South West’s independent travel agents for additional seat capacity from the region’s largest airport.
Last week (11-13 November) a delegation of local travel agents teamed up with Bristol International at the annual World Travel Market to raise awareness of the situation and lobby airlines and tour operators to provide a solution.
Jason Wescott, Head of Sales at Bristol International Airport, said:
“It has been frustrating to hear from travel agents that customers want to fly from Bristol International when booking their holidays but can’t because of a lack of availability. Teleticket has recognised the opportunity by creating a 2009 programme which meets demand for flights to some of the most popular destinations.”
Neil Chapman, Managing Director of Teleticket, said:
“We are delighted to be able to support local independent travel agents and their customers. If initial sales are successful, we will be looking to introduce further flights to the programme.”
Teleticket is a flight-only specialist supplying agents with a flexible and cost-friendly option for flights to popular holiday destinations, is ATOL bonded and has been trading for over 10 years.
Teleticket is offering weekly flights to Tenerife throughout the summer (starting at Easter), as well as flights to Las Palmas (Easter and October half term), Paphos and Lanzarote (both October half term).
Tickets can be purchased at www.teletickettravel.com or through local travel
