New Travel Operator at Manston Airport
A Thanet travel operator is expanding by opening a second store at Manston Airport.
Sunpex Travel, which has been based in Broadstairs for more than 20 years, offers everything from theatre trips to round the world cruises.
Mike Batchelor, Managing Director at Sunpex Travel, said: “As soon as I heard about the chance to be based at Manston I made enquiries and the deal was done in a very short space of time. We’re very excited about being involved in the airport’s future and hope we can encourage more operators to be based here.”
Sunpex will be taking on two additional members of staff to man the Manston store. As well as selling flights only, accommodation only, DIY packages and package holidays around the world, Sunpex also offers package holidays from Manston direct to Italy, Croatia, Austria, Portugal and Jersey.
Charles Buchanan, Chief Executive of Manston Airport, commented: “We are very pleased to welcome Sunpex Travel to our main building. Sadly, Trailblazer Travel, which was based at the airport, recently went into administration due to the wider economic situation but the fact that we could find a new tenant so quickly proves the location is in demand.”
All of Sunpex’s package holidays are sold with ATOL protection ensuring that passengers are covered should a holiday operator cease to trade. Sunpex is also a member of The Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA).
Mike Batchelor added: “We pride ourselves on customer service; our experienced consultants will always do their best to find the holiday you want at the most competitive price. We are really looking forward to welcoming new customers and old to our Manston store.”
