Menorca the Guide petition

Menorca the Guide Petition

Where Your Opinion Counts

There is much consternation both by European visitors and residents alike about the lack of direct flights especially over the winter, and the costs involved flying non-direct.

After receiving the e-mail below from a regular visitor to Menorca I thought we might just be able to at least let the government know how we feel and you never know what may result from this petition.

Hi
Just wondered if anyone could get through to the Menorcan government to put pressure on airlines in Britain and Spain. Part of the financial crisis with British holidaymakers not going to Menorca is because of trying to get flights out there. Unless you live in London you cannot get a flight out to Menorca after October.

I think many Brits are like us who wanted to spend time between October and April in Menorca, but can't. Just think of the revenue Menorca is losing. We thought of flying to Palma and across but here again the flights to Palma from Northern airports is very limited or not at all now and the flight from Palma to Mahon is rather expensive.

Although our nearest airport is Birmingham, in the past we have travelled to Manchester to get the Monarch flights but they have cancelled all flights Manchester to Menorca in the winter. We know people love Menorca and I am sure would go far more often, even in this financial climate, if it was easy to get flights without having to drive hundreds of miles first.

R.K.

We the undersigned would welcome the opportunity to visit menorca more often and over the winter period. We petition the Consell Insular de Menorca [Menorca island council] to help us to help the Menorcan economy and people by working with all concerned in the air industry and the Menorca tourist industry, to try to increase flights and help to reduce cost to operators flying to Menorca.
