Is there an incentive package being offered for this route? Typical Glasgow, crying out for international flights then is let's all go to the same place! Like waiting for a bus on Argyle Street. 🤭

This looks like AF/KL Group looking to stop Vueling getting established on Paris UK routes. Will be interesting to see if this is repeated on other Vueling France-UK routes.

Nice to see TS back on YYZ-GLA with A321LR Slightly surprising restart given depths of winter and current circumstances but plans already to get back up to 4/wk next year assuming no consolidation with WestJet.

Maybe Christmas charters at this time? With things "open" at least for time being?

Eco Friendly Glasgow
Eco friendly Glasgow -With quite a few negative reports recently on the airport and how it has in some ways deteriorated, it's nice to come across a good positive where new LED floodlights for the airfield will result in 25 percent efficiency.
A project is underway to swap the LED floodlights at Glasgow Airport’s airfield with a more sustainable model that is 25% more energy efficient.
Glasgow became the first airport in the world to upgrade to a fully LED-lit apron in compliance with the requirements of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO). At the time, the move away from high-pressure sodium apron lighting improved energy efficiency by 60%.

LED runway/taxiway lights are amazingly bright... the issue being at their lowest setting the LED lights on clear nights are a bit too bright and piercing. The yellow glow of the Glasgow runway lights is quite pleasant on occasion these days. Of course in Low-Viz you want the brighter LED lights shining through the fog. Can't have everything!

One presumes ‘council roads’ where there is a steady transition to LED lighting. Infact my culdesac became so dark after change it needed formal light /lux assessment then further led upgrade.
Given the current rate of traffic at GLA, it might be a case of ‘last one to leave, turn the (filament) lights off’
