New for 2013, the airport will also offer packages to the French Riviera and some of Switzerland’s top mountain resorts.

Holidaymakers can also choose from a number of scheduled international destinations including Bergen, via Sumburgh, and Zurich. And with direct flights to Amsterdam, operated by flybe, holidaymakers can also visit one of Europe’s most vibrant capital cities, or connect to 150 worldwide destinations with flybe’s codeshare partner KLM.
