Air Europa provides new Latin American connections
Spanish airline Air Europa has opened a UK sales office to support new scheduled services from Gatwick.
The carrier is to run double daily flights to Madrid, with connections onto an expanding long haul network to South and Central America, and the Caribbean.
Air Europa is already well known in the UK market for its European charter services and is expanding its long haul scheduled service network.
Destinations available this summer include Buenos Aires, Salvador De Bahia, Caracas, Santo Domingo, Punto Cana, Cancun and Havana.
Tickets are also available on the connecting flights between Gatwick and Madrid which are operated on an Air Comet Airbus 320.
The scheduled departure times from Gatwick are 10.10 and 17.40 each day of the week.
Air Europa head of international sales MarÃa del Mar Ayudarte, said: “The UK market to Latin America is booming and the specialist UK tour operators here are amongst the best in the world.
“Air Europa is well known as a holiday airline to the Mediterranean and our challenge is to make it equally well known as the best way to Latin America, We believe we can do this by working closely with the travel trade here in the UK.”
Two new sales executives, Jodie MacDonald and Bianca Sanchez- Lancaster
have been recruited.
