Flyglobespan is to operate a charter flight from Aberdeen airport to Tenerife this winter on behalf of Thomas Cook.

The airline will operate the weekly Sunday flight in order to protect hundreds of passengers from the Aberdeen area who were booked onto flights operated by Spanish airline Futura International Airlines, which filed for administration on Monday.

Commenting on the announcement, flyglobespan CEO Rick Green said, “We are pleased that we have been able to step into help these Aberdeen passengers, who could have otherwise found themselves stranded, or their long awaited holidays cancelled.

“Unfortunately, operating this Sunday flight has meant that we can no longer launch the new route we planned from Aberdeen to Lanzarote, which is disappointing. However, we feel that with our two other exciting new winter flights to Gran Canaria and Sharm el Sheikh on sale today, in addition to our existing routes to Tenerife and Malaga, people from the local area are well served for winter sun holidays. We are confident this is the right decision for the people of Aberdeen”.
