Budget airline Ryanair is to introduce a new route to Greece this summer.
The flights are set to begin from Edinburgh Airport to Rhodes from April.
The Dublin-based carrier is expected to unveil more details about the route over the weekend.
Budget airlines Ryanair and Wizz Air reported soaring passenger numbers last month.
Ryanair carried 11.8 million passengers in January - 69% higher year-on-year.
Hungarian-based rival Wizz Air said it carried 4.1 million passengers in January 2023, up 73% year-on-year.
It comes as airlines are seeing a marked bounce-back in demand for travel following years of pandemic disruption.
Edinburgh Airport says on its website: "Floating amid the crystal blues of the Aegean Sea, Rhodes boasts phenomenal beaches, ancient architecture and incredible restaurants and nightlife.
"White-washed houses litter the island’s hillside, while cobbled streets lead to medieval castles and golden sands. Transport yourself to this Grecian paradise."
