Three South West airports have announced expansions to their operations with holiday firm Tui.
Bournemouth Airport said the operator will base a second aircraft at the Dorset transport hub, with 60,000 extra seats provided on its growing flight schedule, which includes a new route to Tunisia.
The move mean’s Tui’s capacity at Bournemouth Airport is up by a third compared to last year, and comes after airline RyanAir added another plane to its fleet at the airport last year. Bournemouth Airport’s managing director Steve Gill described the expansion as “fantastic news” for the airport and the local economy.
