Glasgow Airport, the second busiest in Scotland after Edinburgh, has revealed its longest routes for 2025. The airport handled 7.4 million passengers in 2023, recovering well from the pandemic's impact. Using data from Cirium, an aviation analytics company, these routes highlight Glasgow's connectivity to various destinations.

The tenth longest route is to Larnaca, Cyprus, at a distance of 2,305 miles. "This year, 236 flights are scheduled on the route between Glasgow and Larnaca," with easyJet and Jet2 sharing operations using Airbus A320s and Boeing 737-800s respectively.

Sharm El Sheikh in Egypt ranks ninth at 2,714 miles. "Unlike the route to Larnaca, the corridor from Glasgow Airport to Sharm El Sheikh International is only served by a single airline," TUI Airways operates this route with Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft.
