Flyglobespan cancels Aberdeen - Murcia flights
16.03.07
New flights to Spain's Costa Blanca from Aberdeen Airport have been cancelled by low-cost airline flyglobespan before they even take-off. The airline announced in October it would operate summer flights between Aberdeen and Murcia on a Sunday and Wednesday from April 29. But it has removed the Wednesday flights from its website and confirmed that they would not be going ahead 'for technical reasons'.
flyglobespan has confirmed a lack of passengers has prompted the decision to cancel the Wednesday flights. A spokesman for the airline said: 'We are launching a major programme from Aberdeen this summer and in general have been very pleased at the interest and uptake. However, any company must listen to what the market says and it was apparent there wasn't the demand for two flights a week from the airport to Murcia.'
'Any passengers affected can transfer to the Sunday flight free of charge or have a complete refund. We apologise for the inconvenience and remain committed to bringing low-fare flights to Aberdeen.'
Also due to start next month are three flights a week from Aberdeen to Palma, twice-weekly flights to Faro, Alicante and Barcelona and weekly flights to Cyprus and Tenerife. The airline will base a new 737-700 at Aberdeen airport.
