Go to pull Scottish flights from Dublin

Budget airline Go is set to pull out of its routes from Glasgow and Edinburgh to Dublin following stiff competition from fellow budget airlines, Easyjet and Ryanair.

Go now plan to use the aircraft from its Dublin routes for services its new base at East Midlands Airport, which has a catchment area of six million people.

Chief Executive, Barbara Cassani, said she acknowledged that there would be disappointment at the loss of the flights but said that with three airlines offering over 20 flights a day each way between Scotland and Dublin, “it makes sense to shift our capacity and offer low fares in a completely new area.”

The services from Glasgow and Edinburgh airports to Dublin will end on March 21, 2002. (MB)
