A new low-cost airline serving Gibraltar is to begin flights from London Stansted, Manchester, Birmingham and Bristol from March 2007.

The new Gibraltar-based airline plans to offer cheap tickets, but not without some extras included, such as meals and allocated seats.

Using crews and aircraft of the UK-based Astraeus Airlines, Fly Gibraltar’s 148-seater Boeing planes are expected to appeal to holidaymakers travelling to destinations within a 50-mile radius of Gibraltar.

Irish holidaymakers will also be able to use the new Fly Gibraltar service from Dublin.
