Coventry Airport has added four new routes to its 2009 timetable.
Direct services to Monastir in Tunisia, Menorca, and the Greek islands of Zakynthos and Corfu will be operated by Thomsonfly (website: www.thomsonfly.com) next summer.
The expanded schedule comes to the backdrop of a High Court battle over plans for a larger passenger terminal at the regional gateway.
Coventry Airport currently hosts services by just two carriers – Thomsonfly and the Hungarian no-frills airline Wizz Air – serving around one million passengers a year.
But under new proposals put forward by the government, capacity could be doubled with the construction of a new 10,000 sq metre terminal.
Commenting on the new services – seen as a precursor to the expansion – Thomsonfly spokesman Guy Stephenson said they would give a welcome boost to the regional base.
