Flights from London's Gatwick Airport to Puerto Vallarta

go to original
December 24, 2013

Thomson is the third biggest airline at London's Gatwick Airport today, serving more than 60 destinations across the globe. Now it's adding two additional routes for next summer, one of which is Puerto Vallarta.

London, England - New routes to Mauritius and Puerto Vallarta on the west coast of Mexico are to be launched next summer from Gatwick Airport. Thomson's 787 Dreamliners will be flying there, as part of a long-term commercial partnership agreed between the airport and Thomson Airways, the airline for Thomson and First Choice.

Thomson has operated services from the airport for more than 50 years, and is currently the third biggest airline at Gatwick today, serving more than 60 destinations across the globe. As well as offering passengers an extensive range of short haul routes, Thomson flies to destinations as diverse as India, Jamaica and Thailand from Gatwick.

This year marked a major new milestone for Thomson passengers travelling from Gatwick with the airline operating its first services on the state-of-the-art Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Thomson Airways has taken delivery of four Dreamliners this year and has been operating flights to Cancun, Mexico; Orlando, USA; and Phuket, Thailand. Now it is adding the two additional routes for next summer.

Chris Browne, managing director of Thomson Airways, said: "We are delighted to further develop our longstanding relationship with London Gatwick through this new agreement which gives us more certainty than ever at the airport to make long-term growth plans.

"We will continue to modernize our aircraft fleet to enhance the holiday experience for our customers and are particularly looking forward to developing our long haul offer on the revolutionary Dreamliner from Gatwick. We will also work closely with the airport to ensure we are providing the best experience possible for our customers, across every point of their journey through the airport."

Stewart Wingate, CEO of London Gatwick, said: "Thomson's commitment to investing in new aircraft such as the Dreamliner, which is changing the shape of the aviation industry, and delivering greater choice to passengers, is well aligned to Gatwick's own relentless focus on delivering the very best passenger experience and our ambitious plans for expansion."
