easyJet confirms seven new routes to expanded Europe
As part an expansion programme, low-budget airline easyJet have announced seven new routes, three of which are completely new European destinations.
The routes announced today by easyJet are: London Stansted to Basel and Ljubljana International; London Luton to Budapest International; London Gatwick to Naples, Ibiza, Faro and Prague.
As 10 new countries join the EU on May 1, easyJet say they will embrace the enlargement by welcoming Hungary and Slovenia to the EU from the very first day with flights to London.
These new routes, which will bring the easyJet network to 135 routes, will allow millions of travellers to visit the new EU member states from this summer with fares starting from £30.98 return.
Slovenia is considered as one of the most up and coming ski and summer holiday destinations, while its capital, Ljubljana, is famous for its Baroque Old Town.
With its rich cultural heritage, Budapest, Hungary's capital is known as the 'Paris of Eastern Europe'. The city straddles a gentle curve in the Danube. Reflecting its commitment to Gatwick, easyJet is to increase the number of destinations to 20 and daily services have been announced to Naples, Faro and Prague from April 23. Daily flight to Ibiza will commence on 3 June.
Catering for the increase in services the budget airline is to take delivery of 20 new aircraft, five Boeing 737-700's s and 15 Airbus A319's this summer, increasing the fleet to 90 aircraft.
