Mexico flights reinstated as swine flu fears recede

FLIGHTS to Mexico are being re-instated from the North-East's biggest airport.

Newcastle International Airport's flight programme to the resort of Cancun will re-commence on Monday after a three-week cancellation due to fears over the swine flu outbreak.

An airport spokeswoman said the decision to reinstate the Cancun flights, through tour operator Thomson, was made following the latest advice from the Foreign and Cmmonwealth Office (FCO).
