BUDGET airline easyJet has resumed flights from Newcastle International Airport to Palma de Mallorca.
Flights to the Balearic island took off from Newcastle over the Bank Holiday weekend for the first time this summer, providing customers in the North East with a direct connection to one of Europe’s favourite beach destinations.
Flights to Mallorca from Newcastle are now operating up to four times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays throughout the summer season.
Ali Gayward, easyJet’s UK country manager, said: “We are delighted to be operating from Newcastle to Mallorca once again for the summer and providing a convenient direct connection for our customers in the North East to explore or relax in one of Europe’s most popular island destinations.
“We are proud to be the largest airline in the UK and to serve our customers from Newcastle this summer with more choice and great value fares.”
Leon McQuaid, director of aviation development said: “Mallorca has always been a very popular destination from the North East and has been served from Newcastle International Airport for many years.
“Demand for travel this summer is extremely strong and we are delighted that easyJet will be providing even more flights from the North East’s largest airport during the summer season. The Mediterranean island of Mallorca offers something for everyone.
“Visitors can enjoy some of the best beaches in Europe, explore miles of cycle routes or dine in one of the island’s 2,500 restaurants. With an average of eight hours of sunshine every day during the summer months and sea temperatures of 25°C, it is the perfect summer getaway.”
