Flyglobespan, which is part of the Globespan Group - specialists in Canadian travel for more than 30 years, will offer the weekly service every Sunday from 7 June 09 until 27 September 09.

Commenting on the new flight, flyglobespan CEO Rick Green said, “We are delighted to be offering this new service to people in the South Wales area.

“Our Canadian flying programme is increasing in popularity year after year, and we are confident that our winning combination of low-cost flights and superior service will prove a real hit from Cardiff too.”
