Glasgow Tui flights scrapped as holiday operator halts Scottish trips due to Covid

Tui has announced that it's cancelling holidays and Glasgow flights until July as Covid travel restrictions remain in place.

The popular holiday operator said more trips may be scrapped due to the "ongoing uncertainty" however they will continue to review the situation.

The news comes as the company also announced they were cancelling all Marella cruises until further notice.

On their website, they wrote: "All other Sailings on Marella Discovery 2 and Marella Discovery remain cancelled up to and including 31 st July 2021."

Any customer impacted by the recent cancellations will be contacted directly and entitled to a full cash refund. Alternatively, customers can change to a later date or alternative holiday and receive a "booking incentive."
