Stansted Airport launches first routes to Africa

The newly opened Car Hire Stansted Airport depot is delighted to bring news of new destinations being added to the airport flight schedule.

The first routes to Africa from Stansted Airport are being launched by Pegasus Airlines this month.

The low-cost carrier has flights set to jet off to Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada, in Egypt, from October 23. Fares will start at just £99 one way for the London to Hurghada flight, via Istanbul in Turkey.

Planes on that route will depart at 12.55pm on Saturdays and return at 3.20am on Sundays. With the addition of Sharm El Skeikh and Hurghada to its flight network, Pegasus now flies to a total of 86 destinations in 36 countries.
