UK Holiday airline TUI is adding flights to Naples and Dubrovnik to its Summer 2019 programme at Cardiff Airport.
Naples, Italy was listed recently as an “in-demand” route based on Skyscanner searches leading many to expect a service to the Italian Port, which according to TUI, will also serve a new cruise program from the Port.
Dubrovnik in Croatia has been a popular destination for UK travellers and the destination coming to Cardiff Airport will be a welcome one for Welsh travellers.
An additional Boeing 737-800 will be based at Cardiff Airport in summer 2019
The new routes and enhanced summer programme will also see TUI Airways (formerly Thomson) basing an additional Boeing 737-800 at Wales’ National airport in Summer 2019. This will make an additional 100,000 seats available at the airport helping towards its aim of 2 million passengers in 2020.
Flights to both destinations will be available for holidays starting in April 2019.
