LOW-COST carrier Go is to axe its Stansted to Lisbon
service in order to accommodate eight new routes to leading tourist
destinations from its second base at Bristol International Airport.
A Go spokeswoman said the daily Lisbon service, which
will cease from May 22, was unprofitable and had been axed to keep costs down.
From May 22 daily services from Bristol will see Go
fly to Nice, Faro in Portugal’s Algarve and Palma Mallorca. From May 23, the
carrier will fly to Alicante and Malaga. Services from Bristol to Ibiza will
start on June 15, and routes to Barcelona and the Italian capital, Rome, will
commence on July 15.
Flights go on sale immediately and will be available
until September 15, after which Go will launch its winter schedule.
Prices, which are return and
include all taxes, vary from £65 for Nice and Barcelona to £95 for Ibiza,
Alicante and Faro
