The route joins the existing routes to Majorca and the Costa del Sol which will also operate again next year.
Customers can book flights or inclusive holiday packages at a range of hotels and apartments in all three destinations.
C. I. Travel Group Managing Director Robert Mackenzie said: ‘Following another successful summer of flying to Majorca as well as the addition of Malaga in the spring and autumn this year, we are delighted to be able to announce a further expansion of the direct flight programme for next summer, to include Faro.
‘Our third year of operating direct flights underlines our commitment to growing our holiday operations direct from Ronaldsway. We are also delighted to continue our close relationship with British Airways who will operate all our summer flights in 2024.
‘Our clients particularly enjoy the comfort and service provided by the airline and aircraft which operate these services.’
Flights to Majorca and the Algarve will operate every week between May and September, whilst flights to Malaga will operate in April, May and October.
Airport boss Gary Cobb added: ‘The introduction of these direct flights is a positive development for the airport, the island and holidaymakers alike. It will provide more options and flexibility for travellers, making it easier for them to reach their destination with minimum hassle.
‘We have seen demand for direct flights really ramp up over the past couple of years, so we know there will be a fantastic response to the added destination of Faro and this will complement the already successful summer routes of Palma and Malaga, and Tenerife during the winter.’
Flights go on sale on tomorrow and customers will be able to book online through www.flydirect.co.uk or over the phone.
