British low-cost airline Go is to pull out of its routes from Dublin to Glasgow and Edinburgh from March of next year after only six months in operation.

The company has blamed a price war with Ryanair for its decision. Go competes with Ryanair and Aer Lingus on the Glasgow route and with Aer Lingus alone on the Edinburgh route.

Go set up in Dublin in September offering flights to Edinburgh and Glasgow for as little as £45 and expected to carry up to 500,000 passengers on the routes.

There will be no direct impact on jobs here as Go uses ground handling agents Servisair for their operations in Dublin.
