After the release of the UK government’s “green list”, where Portugal was listed, British Airways have announced they will launch flights from Newcastle to Faro later this month.
Starting on 29th May with a twice-weekly service to cope with the pent-up demand for leisure travel to Portugal.
BA is set to launch flights from Southampton airport to 11 destinations including Faro, and the carrier will also commence flights to the Algarve airport from Edinburgh and Manchester at the end of May.
BA will operate flights from seven UK airports.
“We’re pleased that our customers are able to start travelling again to some countries, including Portugal, and we’ve put on additional flights from London, Manchester, Newcastle, and Edinburgh to Faro to help people get moving,” said British Airways’ chairman and CEO Sean Doyle.
