SCOTLAND’S only direct air link from Glasgow to the Isle of Man has been restored thanks to Eastern Airways launching its new service.
The UK regional airline announced back in March that it would be securing the future of Scotland’s Isle of Man link from Glasgow following the liquidation of Citywing.
The carrier has also re-established the island’s routes to Northern Ireland (Belfast City) and North East England (Newcastle).
Paul White, Glasgow Airport’s business development manager, said: “The Isle of Man has always been a popular destination and we are delighted that Eastern Airways acted so swiftly to reinstate such an important business and tourism link.
“Bookings are already proving strong, which isn’t surprising.”
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!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
