Canary islands in flights boost

In news that may interest overseas property buyers thinking of investing in the Canary Islands, it has been announced that new flights will be heading there from Bristol Airport...

Budget air carrier Teleticket is to run services to Tenerife, Lanzarote and Las Palmas, it has announced.

These services fill a gap left by the recent collapse of travel firm XL.

Bristol Airport Head of Sales Jason Wescott commented, "Teleticket has recognised the opportunity by creating a 2009 programme which meets demand for flights to some of the most popular destinations."

Such flights could be good news for those investing in the islands for buy-to-let tourism purposes, particularly as the bulk of the flights will take place during the school holidays.

Teleticket revealed last month that in the New Year it will commence services to Tenerife and Las Palmas from Glasgow and Edinburgh airports.
