Jetstream Connects Blackpool to Three Cities

Permalink 07:28:08 pm, Categories: Blackpool Airport  

www.Parctel.com: Business and leisure travellers flying to and from the North West are the first to benefit from fast-transit scheduled services introduced by Jetstream Express.

Business and leisure travel between regional airports got quicker and easier today, with the launch of the fast-transit service Jetstream Express.

Offering direct connections between Blackpool International Airport and Southampton, Aberdeen and Belfast City, Jetstream Express is promising to cut the time spent commuting.

Ten flights per week will operate between Blackpool and Belfast from 8th May 2007. And with business in mind, flight times have been carefully selected ­ the 7.30am service from Blackpool will get commuters into Belfast City at 8.20am, in good time for a 9am start.

The Blackpool to Aberdeen service will start on 4th June with five flights each week, and the Blackpool to Southampton shuttle opens for business on 2nd July.

John Hardcastle, Director of Jetstream Express said: "Jetstream Express is all about speed and efficiency. We've chosen our routes carefully so that passengers can be sure of the fastest 'kerb to gate' times possible. We're focussed on getting them out of their cars, through the airport and into the air as quickly and comfortably as possible. And passengers will benefit from free in-flight hospitality and access to the Blackpool International executive lounge too."

The service is being operated by charter experts Jetstream Executive Travel, a company that owns and operates a fleet of 19-seater modern, spacious Jetstream 31 aircraft. According to John Hardcastle, it's all part of the plan: "We're using aircraft that are ideally suited to short-haul routes, and insist on our own crews ­ their commitment is essential for us to achieve fast turn-around times and the highest standards of passenger service."

Gareth Kennedy, Blackpool International Airport's Director of Business Development, said: "Jetstream Express prides itself on its ability to deliver first class personal service at a competitive price every time, so we are delighted to welcome them on board at Blackpool International.

"Although we anticipate that the majority of passengers on these routes will fly for business reasons, we also expect that leisure passengers will take advantage of the services to visit Blackpool and the surrounding areas or fly from the North West to these three great cities for a short break or longer holiday."
