Thomas Cook Airlines will operate to eight new destinations from London Stansted next year, and increase the number of aircraft it has based at the airport from one to two.

The UK-based tour operator says it will replace its Stansted-based Airbus A320 with two new A321s in June 2014 and launch new services to Corfu, Fuerteventura, Heraklion, Izmir, Kefalonia, Kos, Rhodes and Skiathos. It will also increase frequencies to other destinations.

The new routes will bring the number of destinations Thomas Cook serves from Stansted to 18.
