Heading for the UK next northern summer? Fancy a cheap side trip to somewhere slightly more exotic?
Budget airline easyJet has announced it will launch six new routes from four UK airports this summer, news portal Travel Mole reports.
The airline is growing its UK fleet with an additional A320 aircraft at its Bristol base.
New services set to take off this summer include flights to Milan's second airport, Linate, from Manchester and Edinburgh, and two new routes from Birmingham to Gibraltar and Bordeaux.
The additional aircraft in Bristol will support the launch of new routes to Palermo in Italy and Almeria in Spain.
The new routes to Milan Linate have been enabled by the opening of a five-aircraft base at Linate next spring, following approval by the European Commission.
The airline will also open a three-aircraft base at Rome Fiumicino from March 30 next year, joining existing bases in Milan's main Malpensa airport, and Naples.
Flights to Linate from Manchester and Edinburgh will take off for the first time on March 30, with flights up to seven days a week throughout the year.
These complements existing easyJet services to Malpensa.
The airline will also increase frequencies from London Gatwick to Milan Linate from one to up to two daily departures.
From Birmingham, flights to Bordeaux will take off from May 1 and to Gibraltar from June 1.
New flights from Bristol to Almeria will launch on June 24 and operate twice a week.
A new summer route to Sicily’s capital of Palermo will launch on June 26 with twice-weekly departures.
“Following another consecutive record summer, easyJet is continuing to grow in the UK next year with more aircraft, enabling us to offer an even greater choice of flights and package holidays,” said Ali Gayward, easyJet UK country manager.
EasyJet currently serves 21 UK airports, offering 585 routes to 136 destinations from the UK to Europe and beyond.
