Announcing the new route, Glasgow Airport said they are 'excited' to offer travellers from Scotland's largest city a 'convenient and direct option' to Malta.

Chris Tibbett, Aero Director for AGS Airports, said: “We’re delighted that Ryanair has chosen to expand its operations here by introducing a new direct route to Malta.

“This addition underscores the airline’s confidence in Glasgow as a gateway for Scottish travellers.

"It also means more choice for those looking for a sunny escape, whether for a long weekend, a full week’s holiday, or an extended stay.”

The new service is anticipated to carry an additional 20,000 passengers between Glasgow and Malta next summer.
