EasyJet to launch new flights from Glasgow Airport to Egypt later this year

Budget airline easyJet will be launching a new route from Glasgow to Egypt later this year as holidaymakers prepare to jet off abroad for the Christmas break.

The airline today (July 6) announced that flights from Glasgow Airport to Hurghada will be running twice a week from November 8 - ideal for families wanting to experience Egypt's scuba diving hotspot.

It spells good news for travellers wanting to get away to sandy beaches for some respite from your day-to-day life, and you won't need to break the bank while doing so.

Flights on new routes for this winter are now available to book starting from just £35.99.

Christopher Tibbett, Group Head of Airline Relations and Marketing for Glasgow Airport, said: "We are thrilled to welcome easyJet's launch of a twice weekly service to Hurghada in Egypt.

“easyJet have already launched several new routes for Glasgow Airport this year; including to Porto and Lisbon; and this additional new route marks an exciting expansion for easyJet and demonstrates our commitment to providing our passengers with diverse and enticing travel options.

“Hurghada is a stunning destination known for its beautiful beaches, vibrant coral reefs, and rich cultural heritage. We are confident that this addition will be welcomed by leisure travellers seeking a sun-soaked getaway this winter.”
