There are 73 destinations mentioned, but very few listed. GLA may not be considered a UK airport, but a Scottish airport separately, as it is by other airlines looking to target & focus on certain specific markets. Maybe no thought for GLA due to fact Central Scotland already covered, seems to be the case with the American/USA flights now. Maybe also the case that GLA is very much a target market? Sadly I think not, although in my unprofessional opinion, the market is there.

I don't see GLA until the EDI service is fully restored and functioning at a good level, which may take a little time. But we should have enough Asian/Sub-continent traffic to offer possibilities. NCL/LBA don't have the same level of hub connection capacity, so may have more potential for missing out the central European hubs and taking people to the eastern end of the continent.

NCL has LHR, AMS, FRA, BRU although not sure if that’s back; CDG again not sure, LBA probably has these served on a leisure frequency for short city breaks by Jet2holidays other than LHR and AMS.
