New Summer sun holiday locations added to Glasgow Airport flight list

Jet setters and holidaymakers will now be able to sample the cultures of some new locations as more destinations have been added to the list of flights leaving Glasgow Airport.

Those flying from the airport will now be able to board flights direct to the coastal Croatian city of Pula and visit its 2000-year-old amphitheatre.

Chania, on the Greek island of Crete will also be added to the list of new destinations that the airline easyJet will serve.

Christopher Tibbett, head of Airline Relations at Glasgow Airport, said: “The launch of these new routes to Pula and Chania from Glasgow Airport are both welcome and timely as we enter the popular summer holiday season.

“A large number of our passengers haven’t been overseas in nearly three years and are rightly keen to enjoy a well-deserved sunshine break. The addition of these easyJet services not only delivers two more fantastic destinations for Scottish travellers to explore, but also demonstrates that our industry is on the path to recovery.”

The inaugural flight on the new summer route from Glasgow to Pula took off for the first time yesterday afternoon (June 27), with the new service now operating up to twice a week on Mondays and Fridays throughout the summer.

Flights to Chania are set to take off for the first time on June 29, operating twice weekly on Wednesdays and Sundays until September 4, 2022.

Ali Gayward, easyJet’s UK Country manager, said: “We are delighted to be launching new flights from Glasgow Airport to Pula and Chania, as well as from Edinburgh Airport to Kefalonia and Corfu for the first time this week.

"These routes further strengthen our network from Scotland and provide more connectivity for our customers wanting to explore or relax in some of Europe's most scenic destinations.

"We are proud to be the largest airline in Scotland and offer our customers great value fares and more choice when they fly with us."
