Newcastle Airport has announced a new exotic summer holiday destination

Fancy something a bit different next year?

A new holiday destination is going to be launched next summer flying from Newcastle International Airport .

From May 2020, North East holidaymakers looking for a change will be able to get affordable flights to Agadir, Morocco.

The North African resort guarantees heat and you'll find yourself spending a lot less than at some more established destinations.

It's going to be operated by TUI, who will be rebranding a hotel to hotel to the TUI Sensimar Tikida Beach later this year ready for package holidays from​ ​Newcastle next summer.

Richard Knight, chief operating officer at Newcastle Airport, said: “I am extremely pleased that​ ​TUI have continued their investment in the region by adding this brand new route for Summer 2020.

​"​Morocco offers an exciting new destination option for our passengers and I’m sure that the​ ​wide choice of resorts, fantastic weather and Blue Flag beaches will be a real hit with the North East travelling public.”

TUI and First Choice will offer thousands of free kids’​ ​places across their holidays and deposits will be £50pp for short and mid haul and £125pp for​ ​long​ ​haul.

Holidays from May 7, 2020 are now on sale.
