AN airline is to base a fourth plane at a Scottish airport, creating 50 jobs.
Jet2.com is launching three new routes from Glasgow Airport next summer, to Murcia in Spain, Pula in Croatia and Menorca.
It will be the first time Murcia and Pula are served from Glasgow Airport.
There will also be more flights to the Canaries, Majorca, Ibiza and Turkey, with overall capacity next summer 20% up on 2012.
Jet2holidays managing director Steve Heapy said: "Glasgow is an important base for us, and as we enter our third year, we are delighted to announce more new destinations our customers want.
"Local holidaymakers have been requesting services to Menorca, Murcia and Pula and we are happy to be offering these amazing destinations for 2013.
"We recently announced Bodrum and Gran Canaria, which are also new for next year, meaning passengers have even more fantastic holiday options direct from Glasgow Airport."
Flights to Murcia will depart every Monday and Friday from May 24 next year, while weekly flights to Pula will start on June 18. Weekly flights to Menorca will start on May 25, 2013.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
