Citywing passengers to benefit from Glasgow airport extension

Citywing says its passengers will benefit from the £3.5 million extension programme at Glasgow Airport.

The latest works, due to be completed next spring, will involve the construction of a two-storey, 1,400 square metre extension to one of its three piers in the main terminal building.

The Scottish hub has invested a total of £20 million in enhancing its facilities over the last year.

The extension is in direct response to the airport’s success in securing a number of new routes and services.

In October, Ryanair opened a new base at Glasgow Airport with 55 weekly return flights.

Earlier in the year, Jet2.com announced further expansion plans at Glasgow including five new routes and an additional aircraft.

Next year Canadian airline WestJet will introduce direct, daily flights to Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Citywing Managing Director David Buck says ‘Our passengers will undoubtedly benefit from this significant investment by Glasgow Airport, the expansion of options for ongoing travel is also another bonus for the Isle of Man – Glasgow route.
