EasyJet has launched two exciting new routes from Glasgow Airport, just in time for planning some last-minute summer holidays.

Starting this week, the airline will offer services to Pula in Croatia and Chania on the Greek Island of Crete.

Both destinations are famed for their crystal clear waters and rocky coastlines which have seen them described as the ideal places to 'unwind and recharge in the sun.'

Christopher Tibbett, Head of Airline Relations at Glasgow Airport, said: “The launch of these new routes to Pula and Chania from Glasgow Airport are both welcome and timely as we enter the popular summer holiday season.

“A large number of our passengers haven’t been overseas in nearly three years and are rightly keen to enjoy a well-deserved sunshine break.

"The addition of these easyJet services not only delivers two more fantastic destinations for Scottish travellers to explore, but also demonstrates that our industry is on the path to recovery.”
