A BUDGET airline has gone into administration after axing all of its flights from a Scottish airport.
Play, a low-cost airline based in Iceland, has announced it has "ceased operations" and all of its flights have been cancelled.
The operator only started running flights to Glasgow Airport in 2023, and said they were "deeply sorry" to their customers.
In a statement on its website, the airline wrote: “Fly PLAY hf. has ceased operations, and all flights have been cancelled…We kindly advise you to check flights with other airlines.
“Some carriers may offer special ‘rescue fares’ considering the circumstances”.
The airline continued: “We are deeply sorry for the disruption this causes and thank you for your understanding”.
Under refunds and passenger rights, the airline has stated that customers who purchased a ticket with a credit card should contact the card issuer for refunds.
For any customers who have booked a ticket as part of a package (including flights and accommodation) through a travel agency in the EEA, please contact the travel agent used for assistance.
They added: “Some rights may also apply under EU Air Passenger regulations. In case of bankruptcy, claims should be directed to the appointed administrator.”
The airline stopped running flights from Glasgow in early 2024.
Speaking at the launch of the Glasgow routes, Birgir Jonsson, PLAY CEO, had said that the airline's Glasgow route was "perfectly placed to fill the gap in demand for Scottish tourists to visit Iceland without the price tag."
Travellers were able to fly direct to Keflavik to explore Iceland, or connect with Play's four US destinations: New York Stewart, Boston, Baltimore/Washington, Washington Dulles, or Toronto in Canada.
