The airline will begin flights to Rome and Milan from October 27, 2025, giving Britons more ways to enjoy an autumn or winter getaway.
These new connections will also provide Scottish passengers with affordable access to Italy, with introductory fares beginning at £26.99.
The services will run three times a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The Glasgow to Milan service will connect Scotland with Italy's fashion capital, whilst the Rome route opens access to the Italian capital's historical attractions.

Both destinations will receive three flights per week from Glasgow Airport. The airline highlighted that Milan offers excellent transport connections to northern Italy's lake district, including Como, whilst Rome provides gateway access to coastal destinations such as Sperlonga in Latina province.
The Trentino region was also mentioned as an alternative to Como's famous lakeside scenery. Passengers can book tickets immediately through the airline's website and mobile application for travel commencing in late October.
That's not all for connections to Italy, however, as the carrier will also introduce a daily London Luton to Venice service from December 1, 2025, priced from £21.99.
