From Manchester, easyJet is adding routes to Montpellier (from 30 March) and Preveza (from 24 June). Liverpool gains Lisbon from 31 March and Paphos from 2 August.

The airline’s growing London Southend base will see the launch of flights to Jersey from 30 March, while London Stansted will gain a new link to Paris Charles de Gaulle from 5 March. Newcastle, where easyJet opens a three-aircraft base next spring, will add Tenerife from 1 August, bringing its total offering there to 20 destinations.

Scotland sees the largest cluster of additions, with Glasgow set to receive four new routes: Lisbon from 29 March, Pisa and Sharm el Sheikh from 1 August, and Malta from 4 August.

Kevin Doyle, easyJet’s UK Country Manager, said the airline remains committed to offering “easy and affordable” travel in its 30th year. “With 16 new routes across ten countries now available… we’re providing our customers with even more choice and connectivity at fantastic fares,” he said.
