PASSENGER numbers at Glasgow Airport have soared for the 25th month in a row.
The city travel hub has reported it's busiest March in seven years with more than 606,000 people passing through the airport in last month.
The figures represent a 14% increase on the same period last year, with international traffic growing by 22.3%.
According to the flight centre, a surge in demand for European destinations boosted international travel along with the relaunch of direct flights to Florida by Virgin Atlantic.
There was also an increase in domestic traffic by 8.2% with British Airways, Flybe and Loganair all reporting a strong demand for London and regional services.
Amanda McMillan, managing director of Glasgow Airport, said: "2015 has got off to a tremendous start and we are continuing to enjoy significant increases in our passenger numbers as a result of our popular and growing list of destinations.
"Our international network continues to go from strength to strength and over the next three months we will see the launch of a further 13 new routes including direct flights to Las Vegas, Munich, Prague and a daily service to Halifax, Nova Scotia.
"Our recently announced new services to Budapest and Lublin starting later this year are also going to be incredibly popular with our growing customer base."
