Customers travelling from the airport will also have access to some of Thomson’s flagship hotels including the 5T Lopesan Baobab Thomson Platinum, which offers seven pools, four restaurants and safari-lodge styling.
The new route will go on sale on April 23.
Karen Switzer, Director of Aviation Planning for Thomson and First Choice, said: “The introduction of the new route to Gran Canaria demonstrates our commitment to Aberdeen International Airport and our Scottish customers, and following the success of similar routes across a number of regional airports, we know that the demand is there.
“Expanding access to our portfolio of destinations and hotels is a key part of our overall strategy and we hope that this move will enhance the holiday experience for our customers.”
Carol Benzie, Managing Director of Aberdeen International Airport, said: “We are delighted that Thomson and First Choice have chosen to add capacity for one of our most popular leisure destinations in 2016. Continuing to grow our leisure portfolio is a key strategic priority for us and the additional capacity is great news for passengers wishing to travel directly from their local airport.”
