GLASGOW Airport reported its busiest March on record after more than 700,000 passengers travelled through its doors last month.

This represents a seven per cent rise on the same period last year.

Demand for EU destinations has increased by 20 per cent, with services to Paris, Valencia, Lisbon and Berlin all performing well.

Amanda McMillan, managing director of Glasgow Airport, said: “Our continued growth is a direct result of our efforts in securing new routes and services for our passengers.

“We have succeeded in significantly strengthening our European connectivity since the start of 2016 and, later this year, we will launch direct flights to Madrid, Frankfurt and Krakow.”
