“A cost effective and exceptional aircraft, this new deal will allow us to build upon our already highly successful family friendly leisure travel business.”

Philip concluded: “We are very pleased to have finalised this order with Boeing for the new 737-800NG aircraft, as our existing fleet of nearly 60 Boeing aeroplanes have proved to be very popular and reliable.

“This order ensures that we can continue to be at the forefront of developing our customer experience and product in line with our family friendly ethos; a comfortable and secure environment, coupled with great service and fabulous locations at a cost effective price.”
