Holidays to Goa popular at East Midlands airport

Flights to Goa, the popular winter sun destination in the Indian Ocean, have been snapped up by holidaymakers from East Midlands airport.
Following the launch of flights from East Midlands to Goa this month, the airport reports that 99% of seats have been sold. First Choice Holidays is providing a weekly service from East Midlands airport to Goa unitl 17 April, and has already announced a full winter programme from East Midlands for next season starting on 4 November 2008.
“Goa is the airport’s first Indian Ocean destination and we have had an overwhelming response to the introduction of this service. To only have ten seats left for the first month of service is a great achievement for a new destination. We are delighted that people from the region are keen to sample this unique location,” says East Midlands airport director of marketing and communications, Caroline Plant.
