Now you can fly direct to the Indian state of Goa from East Midlands Airport for the first time. The route is proving so popular that 99 per cent of the first month’s seats were taken soon after route launch.
Goa, on the west coast of India, is the first destination in the Indian Ocean area for East Midlands Airport.
Airport director of marketing and communications, Caroline Plant, said: "Goa is a genuine jewel in the Indian Ocean and an incredible place in which to enjoy a holiday. The new service is incredibly popular.”
Flights are provided by First Choice Holidays which will offer a weekly service to Goa from East Midlands Airport until 17 April, offering 7 and 14 night breaks.
Then there will be a full winter programme for 2008 to 2009, starting on 4th November 2008.
