Ryanair moves onto ex-Flyglobespan route

Sunday, 21 Dec, 2009 0

 

 
Ryanair is aiming to fill the gap left by the demise of Flyglobespan by increasing capacity from Prestwick.
 
A sixth Boeing 737 is to be based at the Scottish airport from March enabling the no-frills airline to start flying to Fuerteventura, a former Flyglobespan route served from Glasgow airport. 
 
Ryanair will focus on routes previously offered by Flyglobespan to Alicante, Faro, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Malaga, Palma and Tenerife.
 
A spokesman said:“Ryanair is delighted to announce a sixth aircraft and a new sun route for Glasgow Prestwick which will ensure that Scottish holidaymakers can still jet to sun destinations in Alicante, Faro, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Malaga, Palma and Tenerife. 
 
“Ryanair will deliver two million passengers to/from Glasgow Prestwick which will sustain 2,000 local jobs.”
