AIRLINE Jet2 is to launch a new route from Scotland to Italy.
The Leeds-based company is to introduce flights from Glasgow to Verona from next summer.
The seasonal flights are due to operate between the two cities on Wednesdays.
A spokesman for Glasgow Airport said the announcement was “welcome news” for passengers.

He said: “The introduction of this additional service to the beautiful city of Verona will be welcome news for those passengers keen to explore Northern Italy next summer.”
The new route is on top of Glasgow Airport’s Jet2 summer 24 programme that was recently expanded to five destinations, including Ibiza, Izmir, Reus, Bodrum and Rhodes.
The airline was forced to cancel all its flights to Rhodes over the weekend as wildfires continue to rage across Greece.
It was revealed earlier in the month that revenues at airline and leisure group Jet2 have rebounded following renewed consumer confidence.
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!
