EXETER International Airport introduces a new direct service to Canada this week.

The flyglobespan long-haul destination begins its first direct transatlantic service to Canada and back from Wednesday, (May 2).

The flights will be weekly to Toronto's Hamilton International Airport with prices starting from £99 including taxes.

Flyglobespan Chairman, Tom Dalrymple, who is keen to extend the company's routes said: "We have a very efficient organisation that allows us to offer extremely competitive fares in all our different classes and price is still the key driver.

"I am also very pleased that our Toronto flights will go to Hamilton International rather than Pearson. It is a far easier airport to negotiate either arriving or departing."

Sue Crossland, business development manager for Exeter International Airport said: "The airline's parent company, the Globespan Group, has 30 years experience of offering Canadian holidays. "This direct route is a real bonus for passengers travelling from the south west."

Passengers for the web-based booking airline can book flight only or chose to add on transfers and/or accommodation. All flight, holiday, and city break details are available on www.flyglobespan.com
