The Flybe franchise partner Loganair has announced its intention to double the number of flights on its Glasgow to Donegal route this summer from three to six per week.
The airline has also said it will waive baggage charges until the end of April.
Tourism Ireland welcomed the news.

Mr. Gibbons said convenient and competitive access service are critical to increasing inbound tourism.
