British holiday firm Thomson will offer weekly package tours to Punta Cana from 3 May to the middle of September from Glasgow Airport in Scotland. There already were summer flights to Puerto Plata and winter holiday packages to La Romana. In Scotland, Glasgow competes for the position of Scotland’s busiest airport.
Amanda McMillan, managing director of Glasgow Airport, said: “The charter market remains strong at Glasgow and many holidaymakers appear to be returning to the traditional package holiday because of the value for money and the choice of destinations they serve.” She added that the addition of the new flight was good news for holidaymakers looking for great value holidays in the sun.
