Looks like everyone’s going to Goa!
This month East Midlands Airport has launched flights direct to Goa, the Airport’s first Indian Ocean destination. The new addition to the Airport’s portfolio is already proving to be the hottest destination at EMA, in the first month of service 99% of the seats were snapped up.
Caroline Plant, Director of Marketing and Communications, East Midlands Airport, said: “Goa is the Airport’s first Indian Ocean destination and we have had an overwhelming response to the introduction of this service. To only have ten seats left for the first month of service is a great achievement for a new destination. We are delighted that people from the region are keen to sample this unique location.”
Goa is a tiny emerald land on the west coast of India, covering 3,702 square kilometres, the island is a haven for explorers, adventurers and those looking for a break with a difference and is the latest destination in the Airport’s growing list of long haul holidays.
Caroline Plant added: "Goa is a genuine jewel in the Indian Ocean and an incredible place in which to enjoy a winter holiday. The new service is incredibly popular and holidaymakers will have to act swiftly if they are to book their place to fly from EMA and enjoy everything that Goa has to offer.”
Blessed with natural harbours, wide rivers and plentiful sunny beaches, Goa is aptly hailed as the Pearl of the Orient.
First Choice Holidays provide a weekly service to Goa from EMA until 17 April, offering 7 and 14 night breaks to this unique part of the world. First Choice have recently announced a full winter programme for 2008/09, starting on 4th November 2008.
