Flights form part of FlyDirect's summer programme
Ronaldsway Airport has announced a new weekly direct flight from the Isle of Man for summer 2024.
Travellers will be able to fly to Faro on Portugal's Algarve every week between May and September.
It's part of FlyDirect's summer programme.
The route joins the existing routes to Majorca and the Costa del Sol which will also operate again next year.
C. I. Travel Group Managing Director Robert Mackenzie said: “Following another successful summer of flying to Majorca as well as the addition of Malaga in the spring and autumn this year, we are delighted to be able to announce a further expansion of the direct flight programme for next summer, to include Faro.
“Our third year of operating direct flights underlines our commitment to growing our holiday operations direct from Ronaldsway. We are also delighted to continue our close relationship with British Airways who will operate all our summer flights in 2024. Our clients particularly enjoy the comfort and service provided by the airline and aircraft which operate these services.”
Isle of Man Airport Director Gary Cobb added: “The introduction of these direct flights is a positive development for the airport, the island and holidaymakers alike. It will provide more options and flexibility for travellers, making it easier for them to reach their destination with minimum hassle.
"We have seen demand for direct flights really ramp up over the past couple of years, so we know there will be a fantastic response to the added destination of Faro and this will complement the already successful summer routes of Palma and Malaga, and Tenerife during the winter.”
BA CityFlyer, a subsidiary of British Airways will operate the flights, which will have a flight time of 3 hours.
