Budget airline Ryanair has launched a new route from Scotland to Italy.
The route will operate twice weekly from April as part of the airline's summer 2023 schedule, the Dublin-based carrier said.
The airline also announced a Pisa route from Birmingham.
Dara Brady, of Ryanair, said: "Ryanair is pleased to be bringing even more choice and value to our UK customers with the addition of these new Pisa routes to our summer 2023 schedule, offering our Birmingham and Glasgow customers/visitors even more choice for their summer holidays at the lowest fares in Europe.
"For those looking to getaway and soak up some sun with the family this summer, you can now spread out the cost of your holiday by paying half the fare now and the other half up to 40 days pre-departure when you book Ryanair’s Family Plus bundle, making family holidays more accessible for everyone.
"We look forward to welcoming thousands of customers onboard our flights to/from Pisa this summer as Ryanair continues to deliver more traffic, connectivity, and lower fares than any other airline for the UK.”
Ryanair earlier announced plans for new routes from Glasgow and Edinburgh to Belfast, Bournemouth, Cornwall, London Stansted, Rhodes, Venice and Marseilles.
