easyJet launches low-cost route to GLASGOW

It’s the first time the airline has operated direct flights into Scotland from the Island and it will run flights three times a week (Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays) between 25 June and 24 September. Fares start from just £21.99 o/w, including taxes.

Ali Gayward, UK Commercial Manager at easyJet, said: “This route announcement is great news for Jersey. Not only will we make a positive contribution to local tourism in the Island we will also provide Jersey residents with an affordable link to Scotland.”

The Assistant Minister for Economic Development, Senator Paul Routier, who has political responsibility for Jersey Airport said: “easyJet’s announcement is excellent news in terms of the opportunities this low-cost air route will afford island residents as well the inbound tourism benefits. easyJet already operates a successful and well-established year-round service to Liverpool from Jersey and we are confident that, providing passengers take advantage of the service, Glasgow will achieve similar results.”

The new route between Jersey and Glasgow will be easyJet's second from the island. It currently operates daily flights to Liverpool. It is hoped that if the Glasgow service matches the success of Liverpool then it will operate year-round.
