In response to input from travel agents, two UK-based tour operators are expanding their regional flight services.
- Travelsphere and Just You are set to offer flights from 11 UK airports for their popular tours across Europe.
- The expansion involves trips departing from key locations like Manchester, Glasgow, and Gatwick, enhancing accessibility for travellers.
- Long-haul regional departures are on the horizon, further broadening travel options for customers.
- Marketing material supporting this expansion is expected to roll out soon, aiding travel agents in promotion.
Feedback from travel agents has played a crucial role in prompting an expansion of regional flight departures by the UK tour operators, Travelsphere and Just You. This initiative aims to enhance accessibility for travellers across the country.
The expanded service will see flights operate from 11 regional airports including Manchester, Newcastle, and Leeds Bradford, covering popular European tours. This development is a direct response to the insights provided by agents in the Midlands, north of England, and Scotland.
In addition to the immediate operational changes, there is an anticipation of further developments with plans for regional departures to long-haul destinations. This will significantly widen the scope of travel options available to customers, thereby benefitting both the operators and the travellers.
To support this expansion, Travelsphere and Just You are preparing marketing materials such as social media content and window posters. These resources aim to assist travel agents in spreading awareness and promoting the new regional flight services to potential customers.
G Touring’s UK head of sales, Rachel Mould, emphasised the importance of agent feedback in shaping this service enhancement. She stated that the input from travel partners highlighted the necessity for more varied departure points, making tours more accessible and enjoyable across the UK.
