Clickair makes Scottish debut
Spanish low cost carrier Clickair is to open its first route from Scotland.
The airline is to start flying from Edinburgh to its base in Barcelona from August 1 with fares starting at £20 one-way including taxes.
The new route joins UK flights connecting Seville, Valencia and La Coruna with London Heathrow and Barcelona with Dublin.
Daily flights will run from Edinburgh using 180-seat Airbus A320 aircraft. Tickets will be sold via the airline’s website at www.clickair.com and through travel agents.
Clickair CEO Alex Cruz said: “The clickair route network is expanding rapidly and I look forward to announcing further developments to our UK and Ireland markets soon.
“Edinburgh is a great complement to our existing London services, our two regions are especially close and we are proud to offer all kinds of travellers – business people, tourists and students alike – a product they can tailor to their needs.
“We want to cover the huge existing demand in Scotland for Barcelona, the Mediterranean city combining the best in culture, architecture and leisure.”
Ben Carter, VisitScotland area director for Edinburgh and Lothians, said: “Spain is one of our key markets and this direct route will help boost the inbound traffic from this important region.”
Established last year, the airline expects to be serving 70 routes to 55 destinations in Spain, the British Isles, Europe and North Africa, carrying nearly 10 million passengers, by 2008.
