British Airways introduced its first ever international flight from Scotland on May 23 by offering flights to Ibiza from Edinburgh. The airline had initially offered twice weekly service to the island of Spain. However, the airline decided to increase this seasonal service to thrice weekly from June 13.

He further added that Balearic Island is traveled by more than tens of thousands of Scots each year. Holidaymakers can avail of the chance to have a nonstop flight from the Edinburg.

The chief welcomes all the British Airways passengers to travel this exciting route.

Gordon Dewar, CEO Edinburgh Airport, said they are very happy to help British Airways for the service of the new Edinburg-Ibiza route. He further said that the added service will provide their passengers with more choices. This service can be provided only by working together and will grow in near future.
