Glasgow Prestwick Gets Connection With Two European Capitals

Ryanair has launched flights to two new European capitals from Glasgow Prestwick Airport.

On Tuesday (October 30th), the low-cost airline began daily services between Glasgow Prestwick and George Best Belfast City Airport.

Then yesterday (November 1st), Ryanair started flying from the Scottish hub to the Hungarian capital of Budapest.

According to the airline, there are already signs that the three-times-a-week service to the city will be a hit with holidaymakers from Scotland.

Mark Rodwell, chief executive of Glasgow Prestwick Airport, explained: "The introduction of these new flights to popular destinations shows there is clearly a market for increased services from Prestwick.

"Ryanair have once again shown that they are serious about developing the Scottish market and giving passengers the best choice of destinations at the best prices.

"We are confident that the direct services to Belfast and Budapest will appeal to business and leisure travellers alike, resulting in plenty of people travelling in both directions."

Mr Rodwell added that, by January 2008, there would be routes to 32 European destinations operating out of Glasgow Prestwick.

Ryanair also operates flights to Brussels-Charleroi, Gothenburg, Frankfurt, Oslo and Riga from the Scottish airport.
