Flights to Canada from CWL S09
Award-winning airline flyglobespan is to offer flights from Cardiff Airport to Hamilton, near Toronto for the first time.
Flyglobespan, which is part of the Globespan Group - specialists in Canadian travel for more than 30 years, will offer the weekly service every Sunday from 7June 09 until 27 September 09.
The airline already operates a very successful programme to Hamilton Airport from a choice of UK airports including London Gatwick, Manchester, Edinburgh and Glasgow. Prices from Cardiff will start from £179 (one way including tax).
Commenting on the new flight, flyglobespan CEO Rick Green said, " We are delighted to be offering this new service to people in the South Wales area.
"Our Canadian flying programme is increasing in popularity year after year, and we are confident that our winning combination of low-cost flights and superior service will prove a real hit from Cardiff too."
Patrick Duffy, managing director at Cardiff International Airport added, "We are pleased Flyglobespan has stepped in so quickly to restore Toronto to the network from Cardiff. This is testament to strong demand for long haul services in South Wales and the desire to travel to North America and Canada in particular.
"We hope to continue the strong ties with Canada, established by the success of the previous Zoom service, as well as work with our partners to increase inbound tourism into Wales, with Cardiff International Airport as the gateway to the country."
Flyglobespan flies to over 20 destinations world-wide including flights to Vancouver, Calgary and Toronto (Hamilton) from a choice of seven UK airports. As well as flight only packages, flyglobespan also offers a wide range of accommodation packages, fly-drives and tours.
