Ryanair to add flights after cutbacks

Ryanair is to reverse its massive Glasgow cuts, The Scotsman can reveal.

The budget airline shrunk the number of routes at the airport from 17 to three this winter but will increase them again next summer, aviation sources said.

The dramatic reduction, blamed on air passenger duty (APD) , was understood to have been permanent rather than seasonal.

Glasgow was left with Dublin, Wroclaw and Krakow, but four other routes have been added, to Warsaw, Malaga, Alicante and Brussels. More are expected to follow.
