Citywing is celebrating the second anniversary of its Isle of Man-Glasgow service.

Launched at the end of February 2014 the service has grown rapidly in popularity and in 2015 carried almost 10,000 passengers. Citywing now offers 18 flights a week between the Isle of Man and Scotland’s ‘second city’.

Citywing’s managing director David Buck said: ‘The success of the Glasgow service these past two years is indeed cause for celebration. Great value fares, convenient schedules and consistently outstanding punctuality combined with two destinations united by Celtic traditions and famed for their rich cultural heritage make for a compelling customer proposition.

‘In addition, Glasgow International Airport, which is also reporting strong growth and this year celebrates its golden anniversary, is becoming an increasingly popular hub for onward worldwide connections, so this contributes greatly to the service’s appeal. Forward bookings on what is the only direct air link between the Island and Scotland are already looking extremely encouraging so we are confident of more milestones - and celebrations - to come.’

Glasgow International Airport’s business development manager Paul White said: ‘In just two years Citywing has strengthened ties between Glasgow and the Isle of Man to great effect. David and his team are to be congratulated on delivering a product which is responding expertly to both business and leisure customers’ needs. It’s an approach we at Glasgow Airport share and we look forward to working in partnership with Citywing throughout 2016 and beyond.’

Headquartered in the Isle of Man Citywing flies six days a week and offers 18 flights between the Isle of Man and Glasgow with fares starting at ?49.95 each way. For bookings and more information visit citywing.com
