Meanwhile, Jet2.com and Jet2holidays will see off their first flight to Girona (Costa Brava) on Sunday celebrating the launch of the new brand-new route for Summer 2023.
The flight marks the first of the Sunday flights that will operate throughout the whole of the Summer 23 season until September 24.
The route will give holidaymakers the chance to discover the culture-packed city of Girona and Costa Brava’s string of all-action holiday resorts. As well as exploring the hidden treasures and gourmet treats of Girona, holidaymakers heading to Costa Brava will find quaint fishing villages, brilliant beaches and wild landscape, offering them the best of both worlds.
Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said: “We are delighted to see our first flight to Girona take off from Glasgow Airport on Sunday. Feedback from customers and independent travel agents in Scotland has been telling us that flights and holidays to Girona are very much in demand for Summer 23, and we know that this is a destination that customers want to get to.
"Since putting services on sale to Girona from Glasgow Airport, local customers and independent travel agents have been booking getaways to the stunning hotspot in their numbers. As the UK’s largest tour operator, we are giving customers and independent travel agents in the region unrivalled choice when it comes to enjoying a holiday this summer.”
