Faro Airport will have new routes and destinations
The management of Portugal’s international airport Gago Coutinho (ANA), in Faro, Algarve, has revealed that this summer, the airport will offer 18 new routes to 6 new locations, and 81 connections to 71 cities.
The airport manager in Faro believes that the increased accessibility to the Algarve via flights will help to “consolidate the offer and regional and national tourism activities” during the peak season for visitors to the region.
The airline noted that the additional flights will help the “development of strategic markets”, and that “the primary issuing nations for Faro airport, United Kingdom, Ireland, and France, enhanced their supply of seats” compared to the summer of 2019.
Turismo do Algarve‘s president João Fernandes deemed this a “clear proof” of “the trust of tour operators and airlines in the Algarve destination”.
The 6 new destinations, Aarhus (Denmark), Rome (Italy), Strasbourg (France), Bilbao (Spain), and Jersey and Exeter (UK), will provide “almost 85,000 more seats” to Faro, as noted by João Fernandes, who highlighted the significance of the 18 new routes announced by ANA for the period from April to October.
In response to a question regarding whether or not the Algarve would surpass its record-breaking visitor numbers from 2019, João Fernandes said that there are encouraging signs in that direction, but that “cautious optimism” is needed, given the current economic and geopolitical situation.
