RYANAIR celebrated the start of its Glasgow summer 2017 schedule and the first flights on its new routes to Lisbon, Lithuania and Valencia yesterday.
The airline’s Glasgow summer 2017 schedule is bigger than ever with a total of 20 routes, including a new route to Zadar, which will start later this summer, and six new summer services to Alicante, Brussels, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Malaga and Sofia.
Ryanair’s Robin Kiely said: “Summer is finally here and we’re pleased to officially launch our Glasgow summer 2017 schedule and our new routes to Lisbon, Palanga (Lithuania) and Valencia.
Glasgow International Airport’s Paul White said: “These three new routes further strengthen our European connectivity.”
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!
