Glasgow gets new airline

JET2.COM is moving into Glasgow Airport where it will base a Boeing 757 and Boeing 737.  Both will feature the airline’s new interior.  Direct services will be offered to Alicante, Dalaman, Faro, Nice, Majorca, Paphos, Sharm el Sheikh, Tenerife and Tunisia.  Ian Doubtfire, Managing Director of Jet2.com, said the airline aims to fill “a considerable gap” at Glasgow.  “It has been a turbulent time for the travel industry with some airlines and operators ceasing to trade this year,” he added.  “In contrast, we have continued to go from strength to strength – including the launch of a new base at East Midlands Airport this time last year and significant growth from our existing airport bases.”  Jet2.com's six other UK bases are: Belfast International, Blackpool, East Midlands, Edinburgh, Leeds Bradford, Manchester and Newcastle. www.jet2.com
