AIRLINE easyJet has set out plans to restart flights from Scottish airports.
Flights from 14 UK airports will operate next week for the first time since the airline grounded its fleet at the end of March.
It includes Aberdeen, Glasgow and Edinburgh airports.
Flights on some international routes from the Scottish capital will relaunch to a variety of city and beach destinations including Paris, Milan and Barcelona.
The airline has also increased its capacity across beach destinations such as Greece, Croatia and Portugal from the UK for July and August.

However, easyJet has also said that a new range of additional measures will be in place to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all customers and crew onboard including enhanced aircraft cleaning and disinfection and the mandatory use of face masks.
The airline has said that all flights will be equipped with spare sanitary equipment including masks, gloves and hand sanitiser to ensure these are available to customers and crew at all times onboard.
There will also be no onboard food service initially.
Robert Carey, of easyJet, said: “Of course, the safety and wellbeing of our customers and crew remains our highest priority.”
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
