C. I. Travel Group has added child discounts this year

Direct flights between the Island and a number of destinations for summer 2026 are now on sale.

C. I. Travel Group has today confirmed its routes which will operate weekly, on Saturdays, from May to October.

The direct flights will link Ronaldsway to the Spanish Islands of Majorca and Ibiza, Malaga on the Spanish Costa del Sol and Faro on Portugal’s Algarve coast.

They will again be operated by FlyDirect’s partner airline BA CityFlyer, a subsidiary of British Airways.

This year, the company has added child discounts of between £50 and £200 per child to all flights and routes and a wider choice of hotel accommodation.

Larger groups travelling together can also take advantage of a 10 seats for the price of 9 offer.

C.I. Travel Group’s Managing Director Robert Mackenzie said: "The continued support we receive from Islanders for these direct flights has been fantastic and we are pleased to have been able to make them more affordable for 2026, particularly for families."

Interim Airport Director Geoff Pugh added: "We’re delighted to welcome the launch of the Summer 2026 programme of direct flights to these popular holiday destinations. 

"The increase of child discounts and even more competitive fares are great news for island residents, and we look forward to welcoming passengers throughout the summer season."

Flights to Majorca and Ibiza take around two hours 45 mins, whilst to Malaga and Faro the flying time is around three hours. 

All flight prices include 20kg of hold baggage, as well as 10kg of cabin baggage.
