North-east sun seekers can now fly to the Greek islands as a new weekly service to Rhodes has taken off for the first time today.
TUI Airways is operating the weekly Wednesday flight during the summer season until 23 September. Today, TUI crew members were on hand to provide passengers with a Greek experience, with Greek tapas tasters provided by the award-winning Northern Lights Lounge.
Steve Szalay, Managing Director Aberdeen International Airport said: “The introduction of the Rhodes route operated by TUI further expands our summer offering for our passengers. We’re working through our terminal upgrade project and are proud to welcome holiday passengers to the newly updated departure lounge.

This new route opens up more holiday opportunities for customers flying from Aberdeen International Airport. In total customers now have seven destinations to choose from when flying with TUI Airways from Aberdeen International Airport this summer also giving them access to the great choice of hotel concepts and cruise holiday options.”
