Thomas Cook is to boost its presence at Stansted with two aircraft operating from the airport for 2014.
The additional and larger aircraft – the larger Airbus A321 will replace the existing A320 – will lead to new Thomas Cook destinations of Corfu, Fuerteventura, Heraklion, Izmir, Kefalonia, Kos, Rhodes from Stansted as well as Skiathos, which is brand new to Stansted Airport.
Rob Thompson, Thomas Cook Airline’s director of planning, said, "Our growing partnership with London Stansted is great news for those holidaymakers in the East and South East of England looking for an airline and airport closer to home to help them travel to more destinations.
"We believe that this area of the country is currently underserved with respect of airport departures to holiday destinations and that demand exists to make our partnership with the airport a continued success."
Kate Needham, area business manager (East) for Thomas Cook stores said: "We always see demand for local departures from London Stansted – it’s the first thing people ask for."
