EDINBURGH ADDITIONS FOR EASYJET

EASYJET is introducing two new routes from Edinburgh this summer with services taking off to Jersey in the Channel Islands from March 31 and to Seville in Spain from March 26. Both are twice-weekly operations and take the airline's network from Edinburgh to 40 destinations.

“We’re committed to expansion at Edinburgh and the addition of new routes will help us to deliver long-term, sustainable growth, providing passengers with a greater range of destinations, all with low fares and great service,” says easyjet’s UK Country Manager, Ali Gayward.

The two new routes will be operated by A320 aircraft throughout the summer season. In total, easyjet will operate 838 flights in and out of Scotland per week during the peak summer season, connecting to 45 airports in 19 countries. The airline has carried over 41 million passengers in 22 years at Edinburgh Airport.
