“Expanding access to our portfolio of destinations and hotels is a key part of our overall strategy and we hope that this move will enhance the holiday experience for our customers.”

Paul Litten Humberside Airport’s commercial director, said: “Humberside International Airport is delighted that one of the UK’s most popular holiday specialists, Thomson, has decided to return to the airport after a three year absence.
