Flyglobespan report record demand for next summer’s flights
11.08.08
Flyglobespan claims to have bucked the downward spiral of passenger numbers by selling tickets 14 months in advance, the Scotsman reports. The Scottish budget airline, which flies from Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen airports, put flights to European destinations on sale on Wednesday for bookings until October next year at this year's prices.
The airline has said the uptake has been 'overwhelming', with customers buying the flights in twice the numbers they did in the first two days of sales last year for 2008 summer flights. Travel agents are also snapping up the flights to sell on to customers as package bookings with hotels and cruise deals, the newspaper reports.
Flyglobespan said its summer flights to destinations such as Palma and Malaga went on sale on last Wednesday, and it was amazed at how many people have booked them already. Chief executive Rick Green said: ‘Our regular customers know that to get the widest choice of low fares and availability, they need to book early.’
