Jet2.com to Expand from Glasgow and Manchester

Posted 10/06/2011

UK low-fare airline is to expand its offering from Glasgow and Manchester airports next summer with services to three more destinations from Manchester and two from Glasgow.  The airline will introduce a mix of city and leisure markets from the end of March (except were noted) with new flights from Manchester to Paris CDG (four times a week), Toulouse (three times a week from May 18) and Bergamo (twice weekly from May 16) and from Glasgow to Barcelona (three times weekly) and Murcia (up to three times weekly).

The airline will be the only carrier operating from Manchester to Bergamo and will replace bmibaby on the Toulouse link (the low-cost airline is pulling out of Manchester this winter), but it will face strong competition on the route to the French capital, which is already served three times daily by Air France and up to four times daily by Flybe.  In the last year an estimated 295,000 O&D passengers travelled on the route, with average fares over $110 each way.  From Glasgow, Jet2.com will be the only carrier flying to both Barcelona and Murcia.  However, it will face competition from charter operators, which offer package holidays to both destinations.
