Thomas Cook Airlines has added three new routes to its summer 2011 schedule from East Midlands Airport.

Those looking for sun, sea and sand will be able to fly to Hurghada in Egypt every Tuesday from 3 May to 25 October 2011, to Funchal in Madeira every Monday from 2 May to 31 October 2011 and to Izmir in Turkey every Wednesday from 4 May to 26 October 2011.

If summer is too long to wait for flights to Hurghada, don’t worry, as flights are also available on their winter timetable – every Tuesday from 15 February until 26 April 2011.

Ian Derbyshire, Chief Executive Officer of Thomas Cook UK & Ireland, said: “Egypt, Madeira and Turkey are fantastic holiday destinations for families, couples and groups. We’re committed to our flying programme from the region, so with these extra options, we’re really pleased to be able to offer even more choice to travellers from East Midlands Airport.”

Next summer, as well as Hurghada, Izmir and Funchal, flights will also be operated to the Canary Islands, Turkey, Spain, Bulgaria, Greece, Portugal, Madeira, Egypt, Malta, Italy, Balearic Islands and Cyprus from East Midlands Airport.
