AN airline has unveiled a new route from a Scotland to a popular Christmas holiday destination.

Jet2.com and Jet2CityBreaks announced the launch of flights to Prague from Edinburgh Airport.

It will operate two weekly dedicated services on a Thursday and Sunday to the Czech capital between November 30 and December 17 this year.

Jet2.com will also operate services to Vienna from Birmingham and Manchester Airports as well as new services to Prague and Krakow from East Midlands Airport over the winter period.

Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays said: “We are seeing strong demand for city breaks this winter, with more people than ever wanting to visit their favourite city break destinations.

“As always, we want to give customers and independent travel agents what they want, so have added flights and city breaks to Vienna throughout the whole of the winter season.

“On top of this, we have also extended our Prague and Krakow routes from East Midlands Airports throughout winter too.

“As the largest operator of European city breaks, we know that these new services will be extremely popular, as people look for a magical winter escape with a company they can rely on.”
