Bristol, UK, 2014-04-29 — /Travel PR News/ — As announced in February, following increased demand from holidaymakers in the region and the best-in-class performance of the airlines’ Bristol operation, Thomas Cook Airlines @FlyTC has today launched its summer flying programme with the arrival of two Airbus A321 aircraft – including a new aircraft in the airlines new Sunny Heart livery.

Christoph Debus, Thomas Cook Airline’s CEO, said, “Today is a great day for our customers at Bristol Airport as we celebrate the arrival of one of our new aircraft for the summer season.
“Along with adding more flexibility and choice building on the new routes we added last summer, our customers will experience a new level of comfort and reliability.”

Thomas Cook Airlines will introduce a total of six new A321 aircraft across its fleet this summer, cementing the local connection with Airbus’ UK factory in nearby Filton.

Shaun Browne, Aviation Director, Bristol Airport said, “It is exciting to see the new Thomas Cook Airlines Airbus A321 flying from Bristol Airport. The introduction of this larger aircraft represents an increase in seat capacity of over 20 per cent for summer 2014.

“With parts of the A321 designed and manufactured locally in the Airbus facility at Filton this is an exciting opportunity for passengers in the region to experience the latest home-grown innovation in aircraft aviation technology.”
