Richard Sofer, commercial director, TUI UK & Ireland, said: “After four months of not taking people on holidays, we are incredibly excited to be back at Newcastle Airport and taking our customers away.

"We’re starting small, offering holidays to some of our most popular destinations, so that those who want to travel can do so safely.

“Of course, the current circumstances mean we need to be flexible, and we’re ready to adapt our plans if need be.

"We’re always monitoring local and international Government advice, and we’ll constantly review our holiday programme as we go along.

“Our customers can be sure they’ll be taken care of through every part of their holiday with us – from the flight, to the transfers, and the hotel – particularly with our new Covid-19 Cover included with every booking.”

Richard Knight, chief operating officer at Newcastle Airport said: "It's great to see TUI's summer holiday programme re-starting again from Newcastle.

"Many in the North East will have been hoping for a summer getaway this year and will be looking to book a last-minute break in the sun.

"We hope that TUI's measures, along with our Ten Point Plan, will allow passengers to feel confident when making their travel plans and we look forward to welcoming them to the airport again soon.”
