TUI launches new flights from UK airport to gorgeous Mediterranean island
The airline will fly to Palma, the capital of Majorca, on a weekly basis from Southampton Airport.
The first flight took off on Tuesday May 27 and the service is set to operate until the end of September.
Gavin Williams, managing director at Southampton Airport, says: 'Our passengers were hugely excited when the return of TUI was first announced last year.
'It was fantastic to see our passengers on the first services which provides an exciting new travel opportunity for the Central South region.
'We look forward to welcoming more passengers on this flight as we continue to expand and enhance our travel options.'
TUI last ran flights from Southampton to Majorca in 2009.
Karen Switzer, TUI UK's director of flight capacity management aviation planning, said: 'We are extremely excited to see the return of TUI Airways to Southampton Airport to reconnect travellers with the vibrant corner of the world that is Palma.

'We understand how important it is for customers to have access to flights from their local airports, and this latest addition brings the number of regional airport that TUI Airways fly from to 24.
'We look forward to welcoming customers on board from May next year and taking them away on their dream Mallorcan holiday.'
Palma Airport is the gateway to everything Majorca has to offer, from dazzling beaches to Moorish landmarks.
There's not really a bad time to visit as the island temperature tends to average around 20 degrees even in autumn.

Ryanair launches five new flight routes from regional UK airport in huge £300million plans
A REGIONAL UK airport is getting five new Ryanair flight routes as part of a multi-million pound investment. The budget airline confirmed they would be adding a "gamechanger" third plane to Newcastle Airport. 3 3 This means another 120,000 seats on sale a year, starting from this winter. Not only that, but five new routes will also be launched this winter. This includes Brussels, a popular Christmas Market destination, and will be the first route from Newcastle Airport. The other new routes include Budapest, Gdansk, Malta and Wroclaw. And flights to Alicante, Dublin and Krakow will also increase in frequency. The additions are part of a £300million investment in Newcastle Airport. To celebrate, Ryanair has launched a two-day seat sale with flights on offer from £29.99. Ryanair's CCO Jason McGuinness said: "This Winter Ryanair will operate a record schedule at Newcastle that will deliver more than 1m annual passengers." Newcastle Airport's Chief Operating Officer, Richard Knight, added: "Brussels is a brand new connection for the Airport's departure board and will provide great connectivity for both leisure and business passengers to the capital of Belgium. "The addition of more winter flights to Budapest, Gdańsk, Malta and Wrocław will provide additional flight options for passengers looking to explore these popular destinations from the region.' It's not the only new flights Ryanair is launching. The budget airline is opening a new base at Tirana Airport in Albania. Along with new flights from Birmingham, it will also help Brits travel to Ksamil, dubbed the 'Maldives of Europe'. However, there are three airports in Europe that are seeing all Ryanair flights scrapped. French airports Bergerac, Brive, and Strasbourg will see all Ryanair flights cancelled later this year. It is feared Bergerac Airport could even be forced to close for good. Christophe Fauvel, president of the Dordogne Chamber of Commerce (CCI), said: "If Ryanair decides to follow through on its threat and leaves Bergerac for good the airport may face closure". The Sun's Deputy Travel Editor recently wrote about why she thinks Ryanair is one of the world's best airlines. 3

'Trust Howe, he seems in control'
I think Newcastle have actually done some good business so far, bringing in Anthony Elanga from Nottingham Forest and Jacob Ramsey from Aston played a big role in Forest reaching Europe, while I really like Ramsey. He was very popular with Villa fans as a local product, and I bet Villa were very reluctant have also brought in defender Malick Thiaw from AC Milan, but there is no getting away from the fact that Isak's discontent – and his behaviour – has cast a they can sign Wissa and get another done, then that is very good business, but losing Isak would be a big Eddie Howe, though, as he seems well in control of everything, and Newcastle still have some very fine players. When quizzed about Newcastle's potential replacements, this is what Phil had to say. Wissa would be a good addition, while eyes have been cast at Jorgen Strand Larsen at Wolves. Chelsea's Nicolas Jackson has also been touted, and while he is inconsistent, he has talent, and we have seen how Eddie Howe can improve players from raw can catch Phil McNulty's live Q&A here

Foreign investors stock up on euro zone debt in June
FRANKFURT, Aug 19 (Reuters) - Foreign investors added to their stock of euro zone debt in June, European Central Bank data showed on Tuesday, in a tentative sign the bloc was becoming more popular at a time of financial upheaval in the United States. The ECB has talked up the euro's prospect as a global haven for investors as U.S. President Donald Trump's unprecedented pressure on the Federal Reserve and erratic trade policy casts a shadow on the dollar's own status. Financial account data from the euro zone's central bank showed investors from outside the bloc were warming to the single currency, which a decade ago was on the brink of collapse amid a debt crisis. Foreign investors bought a net 59.8 billion euros ($69.82 billion) worth of euro zone debt with a maturity of at least one year in June, the ECB data showed. The pace of buying slowed, however, from the month before, when it was the fastest since the data series started in 2013, at 97.3 billion euros. The euro zone's adjusted current account surplus, which covers the flows of goods, services and income, widened to 35.8 billion euros from 31.8 billion euros in June. This was thanks to primary income, or proceeds from investment and labour, offsetting a drop in the trade surplus. In the 12 months to June, the adjusted surplus equalled 2.0% of the bloc's GDP, down from 2.6% in the preceding 12 months. ($1 = 0.8565 euros)
