Canary Islands to benefit from new flights
December 8th, 2008 by Rachel Newcombe
The last few months have been blighted by news of airlines cutting flights, but there’s more encouraging news for the Canary Islands, which are set to benefit from new flights from early 2009.
Failed airline company XL had left a bit of a gap in the market, with flights to the Canary Islands amongst those affected by its downfall. But budget airline, Teleticket, has stepped in to fill the gap and announced that it will be introducing new flights from Bristol to Tenerife, Las Palmas and Lanzarote in 2009.
The flight-only tour operator, which also operates flights from airports such as Gatwick, Manchester, East Midlands, Newcastle and Glasgow, will start the flights to Tenerife in April 2009 and to Gran Canaria at Easter.
The Spanish Canary Islands are a destination that’s long been a favourite with Brits. Between them, the islands attract a massive 10 million visitors each year and it’s no wonder they’re a popular location for holiday property owners and expats too. Amongst the major attractions are the great year-round climate, good beaches and easy access from the UK. But from a property point of view, it’s possible to find apartments like this for under £100k, and there are good opportunities to rent out accommodation to tourists.
For those wanting to splash out with a bit of luxury, top notch properties can be found on the islands too, like this individually designed house in Tenerife.
