“We look forward to welcoming passengers back on board our modern and sustainable aircraft, where they can rely on our stringent health and hygiene measures and excellent service as they head on their long-awaited summer holiday.”
It’s the first time since October 2020 the airline took to the skies.
Chris Harcombe, managing director at the airport, said: “Today is something of a celebration as we’ve been eagerly waiting for the Government to give the green light to international travel.
“We’re seeing plenty of pent-up demand from passengers keen to get away on a much-needed holiday in the sun and visiting loved ones abroad.
“It’s been a tough 12-months for the aviation industry and, although we’ve remained operational throughout the pandemic providing vital freight service, leisure travel is the beating heart of the UK’s favourite airport and we can’t wait to welcome back customers and get them up in the air for summer.
