Holidaymakers will now be able to savour the taste of Italy before they fly as Primo Volo launches in Glasgow Airport.
Located in the airport's main departure lounge, the new eatery offers passengers a "vibrant and authentic Italian dining experience".
Its menu features freshly made pasta dishes, ciabatta sandwiches, as well as classic Italian cocktails, such as spritzes and Negronis.
The launch of Primo Volo comes as part of a major shake-up which will see £3.7million worth of improvements made to Glasgow Airport.
There will be upgrades to both airside and landside retail spaces, as well as improvements to the departure lounge.
A new American Diner will replace the existing Frankie and Benny's unit.
Sanford's is set to open up in August, featuring a menu filled with pizzas, hot dogs, burgers, milkshakes and waffles.
Travellers can also look forward to the opening of a new Accessorize store and currency provider Travellex.
The Bird and Signet bar and kitchen will be upgraded, and the Stack and Still restaurant will also be relocated.
Craig Norton, Head of Retail Development, said: 'We're thrilled to see the opening of Primo Volo at Glasgow Airport as part of our continued investment in delivering a first-class passenger experience.

Major furniture maker that supplies ‘leading brands' across UK abruptly ceases trading with ALL workers to lose jobs
The firm is about to go into liquidation DOORS CLOSING Major furniture maker that supplies 'leading brands' across UK abruptly ceases trading with ALL workers to lose jobs Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MAJOR manufacturer has suddenly shut down due to "very difficult" market conditions. Andrew Paul Furniture, which supplied "leading brands" across the UK, had to cease trading. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 A major furniture maker had to stop trading due to decline in sales Credit: Getty The major furniture maker, which manufactured chairs and sofas for well-known brands, has closed down after a decline in sales. Andrew Paul Furniture employs 178 highly skilled wood machinists, frame makers and upholsterers in Long Eaton who will now lose their livelihood. The firm stopped trading on June 26 after 15 years on the market and is about to go into liquidation. This means that all employees will be let off and the company's assets will be liquidated in an effort to pay off its debts. Post-Covid struggles According to the company's financial records for 2024, Andrew Paul Furniture has provided goods to "leading brands" and is a part of the "recognised centre of excellence for upholstered furniture" in Long Eaton. The furniture maker produced "modern designs to high specifications" by combining traditional craft and the latest technology. But the firm struggled with a challenging market climate following Covid-19. In the report, bosses said: "Like all manufacturers in the furniture trade, business has been very difficult and cutbacks in all areas of the business have had to be made. "The company has experienced a slight downturn in trade and in recent years has made losses." The firm owes £2million in debt The financial filings have also revealed that the firm owes creditors over £2million over the course of the next year. The lion's share of this money, around £1million, is owed to other businesses which had worked with the furniture maker. The company had implemented a restructuring programme in a bid to save itself from bankruptcy and even moved its production to Meadow Lane premises to reduce costs. However, in the same financial report the firm had admitted that its future was uncertain. Despite the efforts, Andrew Paul Furniture saw a decrease in turnover from £14,242,283 in 2023 to £12,944,655 in the previous year.

The motors firm will put one of its most popular models on the British market towards the end of the year. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Geely is set to launch on the UK market at the end of the year (stock image) Credit: Reuters Geely, which owns LEVC, Lotus, Polestar, and Volvo, will soon be launching in the UK. British showrooms will see the Geely EX5 in the final quarter of the year. And the brand will open its own standalone dealership network in the UK. The model is an electric crossover designed to rival the Skoda Elroq, Kia EV3, and Renault Megane. Geely said the EX5 has been assessed by Lotus Engineering to evaluate whether it requires retuning for European roads. Model details UK specifications have yet to be announced while globally, the crossover is offered with a choice of 49.5kWh or 60.2kWh battery packs. The 60.2kWh pack yields a range of up to 264 miles on the WLTP test cycle. And they can be charged at a rate of up to 100kW on a DC connection, giving the bigger battery a 30-80% refill in 20 minutes. It also has a single front-mounted motor that puts out 215bhp, giving a 0-62mph sprint time of 6.9sec. Inside, the car seats five and features a 15.4in infotainment touchscreen. World's thinnest car measuring just 19in wide that's skinnier than a motorbike is unveiled… & it works if you can fit in UK market While prices have yet to be announced, the EX5 starts from $40,990 (£19,500) in Australia. This hints at a potential price of between £25,000 and £30,000 here in the UK. Geely said that fleet buyers are expected to be a 'key segment' for the model. They reported that these customers account for the majority of EV sales at present. The company added that it was confident that it will appeal to UK buyers. Car Auctions: How To Nab A Bargain Car auctions are a way to sell vehicles based on a bidding system with the highest offer securing the deal. Auctions aren't restricted to the rich and famous as thousands of cars are sold at motor auctions in the UK each week. Here's what you need to know before attending an auction: Be prepared: Do your research on the car you would like to purchase beforehand. Check the car: Cars will usually be lined up before the start, so make sure to arrive early to inspect the desired car thoroughly. Have a back-up: Be ready for disappointment as your desired motor may be sold to someone else and select a few back-ups. Be realistic: Realise that there won't be a "perfect" car at an auction and adjust expectations accordingly. Set a budget: It is easy to overspend in the heat of the moment during bidding. Ensure you have set a budget and do not go over it. Key phrases to look out for: 'No major mechanical faults' – suggests that there shouldn't be any issues with the car's drivetrain, gearbox, suspension, or engine. – suggests that there shouldn't be any issues with the car's drivetrain, gearbox, suspension, or engine. 'Specified faults' – the auctioneer will read out specific faults. – the auctioneer will read out specific faults. 'Sold as seen' – the vehicle is sold with any problems it may have. The auction company will rarely entertain complaints regarding the mechanical or cosmetic condition of these vehicles after sale. – the vehicle is sold with any problems it may have.

'Sold with a warranted mileage' - The car is being offered based on the report, which confirms the mileage through an independent check. Deliveries are earmarked to begin between October and the end of the year. Additional Geely models are set to follow in 2026. The move comes as the brand attempts to tap new markets for rapid growth. They have set out to add more than 300 non-Chinese dealers and service centres to their global portfolio by the end of the year. Geely sold nearly 2.2 million cars last year, which is up 34% compared from 2024. More car brands An iconic hatchback is set to return three decades after it was discontinued. Meanwhile, another car brand faces factory closures over electric vehicle targets. And a road test of the Kia EV6 GT that is now £2,690 cheaper.

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ONE of the world's most beautiful museums has finally reopened after a €466million (£402million) four-year restoration project.

The rest of the restoration included reopening and reconnecting the main interior of the building for the public, creating a new public entrance, adding restaurants, modernising galleries and planting over 60,000 plants. In addition, 40 lifts have been added alongside the building's existing 30 staircases. One visitor commented on Tripadvisor: "One stairway makes you feel like you've 'arrived' as the honored guest of a major fashion show." Another added that the museum has "one of the most beautiful staircases I've ever seen". Statues, balconies and other ornaments have been restored throughout the building too, in addition to 150 of the Grand Palais' windows. The Grand Palais will also offer more cultural events including art fairs, public installations and fashion shows. New spaces have been added for families too - with games, creative workshops, interactive features and an exhibition trail to explore. In the Children's Palace - below the Rotunda of the Palais de la Découverte - there is a new, fully restored interactive area for children aged between two and 10-years-old with scientific machines and hands-on experiences. According to Dezeen, the architects behind the project - Chatillon - said: "Our aim has always been to ensure these stunning areas meet their full potential by linking them together, creating new visitor services and access routes that will transform the way the building works and is used, creating a new experience for the next generation of visitors." Science and Industry museum manchester The Grand Palais was originally built for the Paris Universal Exhibition in 1900 and since, has been widely considered as one of the French capital's most iconic landmarks. The Universal Exhibition was a series of events and exhibitions that showcased France's cultural and technological advancements - and the Grand Palais was one of the impressive structures to feature. Since then, the site has been used for many different events over the decades including exhibitions, salons, festivals, the 2024 Paris Olympics and Paralympics fencing and taekwondo events and even a huge ice rink. It was even used as a military hospital and rehabilitation centre during World War I.

The Grand Palais was also named on Prix Versailles' World's Most Beautiful Museums List in May of this year, reports Bustler. According to Tripadvisor, over two million people visit the Grand Palais each year. Tickets to the Grand Palais vary in price depending on the exhibition you want to see. The UK's newest national museum is more like an Ikea store – and Kate Middleton is already a fan. Plus, the UK's oldest museum has revealed a new £11.6million redevelopment plan.
