Flights > News > # 809 (02/06/2006)
Flyglobespan’s new service between Glasgow Interntational and Orlando Sanford took off today (June 2), providing the first ever daily flights from Scotland to Florida, and the first daily no-frills flights to Florida from any UK airport. The Orlando flights will be operated using a Boeing 767-300, fitted with power outlets for PC and video games at every seat, and a minimum seat pitch of 31 inches. As with other European no-frills airlines, passengers will be offered food and drinks for purchase, but will not be given any free meals. Flyglobespan’s parent company the Globespan Group has been organising charter flights across the Atlantic to Canada for over 30 years. Company chairman Tom Dalrymple says that experience will be hugely beneficially in ensuring the company caters for all needs on their Glasgow to Orlando service, adding: “Florida is now such a significant part of the UK holiday market that we had to make it a destination. A daily service is ambitious but it does give us the flexibility which travelers want.”
