Extra flights announced for 2011 Isle of Man TT
Extra flights will be laid on during the 2011 Isle of Man TT fuelled by Monster Energy to ensure fans can make it to the races.
Isle of Man-basedManx2.com will operate flights between Cardiff and the Island during Practice and Race weeks.
Company chairman Noel Hayes said the decision followed requests from Welsh race fans during the past year.
He added:
“We had many enquiries about a direct flight from Cardiff to the Isle of Man, so have added this route for the TT festival.”
“With this year marking 100 years of the Mountain Course, we’re giving more fans the opportunity to come and experience this great event.”
“With our other Welsh routes proving very popular, we may even look at adding Cardiff–Isle of Man to our regular timetable.”
Manx2.com will operate three return journeys during the TT, with fares starting at £59.95 including taxes and charges.
Isle of Man Tourism political member Geoff Corkish said:
“Manx2 is again showing itself to be a champion for the Isle of Man, re-instating this route during such a busy and important fortnight.”
“With this service, along with the summer schedule from Anglesey, we’re very much looking forward to welcoming more Welsh visitors to the Island this year.”
Cardiff Airport’s Head of Commercial Operations and Air Services Development Spencer Birns added:
“We’re delighted Manx2 has decided to operate TT specials from Cardiff Airport.”
“The world-famous Isle of Man TT service will no doubt prove popular with bikers, and we’re also hoping to welcome some visitors to Cardiff from the Isle of Man during the period.”
