easyJet Expands in Scotland

UK budget carrier EASYJET is to expand its network in Scotland by utilising an additional aircraft at its Edinburgh base and replacing one of its existing Glasgow-based aircraft with a larger 180-seat Airbus A320. The new deployments will create over 60 additional jobs and will boost annual capacity by around 340,000 seats per year. The airline will launch flights from Edinburgh to Athens, Grenoble and Tenerife from September, as well as launching flights to Aberdeen from its London Gatwick base.
