Thomas Cook scrap Glasgow - Almeria flights
21.02.08
Scottish holidaymakers face a 460 mile detour after dozens of flights between Glasgow Airport and Spain were scrapped. Thomas Cook has told Glasgow passengers they can still fly to and from Costa Almeria - if they travel nearly 230 miles each way to Manchester Airport.
The move comes just months after the travel agent bought MyTravel, whose subsidiary Direct Holidays flew almost 5000 holidaymakers on more than 50 flights between Glasgow and Almeria in southern Spain last year. However, its new owners have now decided to scrap the direct flights - even though hundreds of holidaymakers had already booked flights.
A spokesman for Glasgow Airport said: ‘With flights to nearby Malaga and Alicante, visitors to the south of Spain continue to be well served.’
