WEST
MIDLANDS Co-op Travel has teamed up with new operator Poo UK to offer packages
to the Indian region of Amritsar.
The
Co-op has been appointed the main regional agent for the new service, which
will start from November 1. It is the only direct service to the region with
current flights travelling only via Delhi or other stop-off points.
West
Midlands Co-op’s travel services controller Geoff Hurmson said: “This is a
unique product for a huge market and will be very popular with passengers from
all over the region.”
The
service to Amritsar will be operated by charter airline Flyjet on a Boeing 757
aircraft. Poo UK expects to carry more than 50,000 people in its first year of
operation.
