Global Airlines, a new British airline, has launched ticket sales for its inaugural transatlantic flight from Glasgow to New York.
The flight, scheduled for May 15, will use an Airbus A380 and marks the start-up’s first venture.
Return ticket prices are set at £778 for economy, £3,700 for business, and £7,127 for first class.
These prices are significantly higher (88 per cent) than comparable flights from Edinburgh to New York on the same dates offered by other airlines.
The flight is a one-off charter operated by Hi Fly Malta, unlike the initially planned scheduled service between London Gatwick and JFK.
