Glasgow to Faro service launched
Wed, 23 Apr, 2008
Low-cost airline easyJet yesterday opened its new route from Glasgow Airport to the Portuguese city of Faro.
The service will operate on Tuesdays and Saturdays, with seats available from £23.99 one way.
However, as Faro is the gateway to the popular resorts of the Algarve, easyJet will increase the number of flights to three a week during the peak holiday season between June 26th and August 28th.
David Osborne, easyJet's UK general manager, said that as with all the airline's flights from Glasgow to warm weather holiday destinations, demand for the service had been strong.
He added: "This direct route to Faro has already proven a popular choice and will offer all Scots the opportunity to experience the glorious Algarve from their local airport."
A number of new routes have begun operating from Glasgow Airport this month, including Air SouthWest flights to Newquay and a flybe service to La Rochelle.
