New route to link Aberdeen and Faro in Portugal Published duration 21 September 2016

Aberdeen Airport has announced new flights connecting the city with Faro in Portugal's Algarve region.

Ryanair will operate a twice-weekly service as part of its summer schedule next year.

It follows an earlier announcement that the airline would also fly from Aberdeen to Alicante and Malaga next year.

Airport managing director Carol Benzie said a survey suggested a demand for a Faro route from customers.
