POPULAR airline Jet 2 will fly from Glasgow Airport to a popular holiday spot this winter, it has been revealed.
The firm's winter programme schedule has been released earlier than ever before due to demand with flights from Glasgow Airport to 12 destinations including Tenerife, Lanzarote, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, Malaga, Alicante, Palma, Antalya, Faro, Maderia, Paphos and now Malta.
Jet2 says the programme represents over 40 departing weekly flights from Glasgow Airport during peak periods.

The early release of the programme comes in direct response to the strong demand we are seeing from customers and independent travel agents in Scotland wanting to book in advance and get the best choice of dates, rooms and resorts, as well spread the cost.”

For this reason, we are confident that this new programme will prove extremely popular as people look to escape the cold and gloom of the UK in winter and chase the sunshine. We are looking ahead with real confidence and are very excited to be able to share further good news about our Winter 24/25 programme from Glasgow Airport soon."
Christopher Tibbett, Group Head of Airline Relations and Marketing for AGS Airports, which owns Glasgow Airport, added: “The early release of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays’ packed winter sun schedule is great news for travellers looking to get away as the nights start to draw in and the temperatures drop. The addition of a new Malta service will also be well received as this lovely Mediterranean island has always been a hugely popular destination with Scottish holidaymakers.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
