The low-cost carrier’s new services include flights from Newquay to both Glasgow and Manchester, as well as routes from Manchester to Hammamet in Tunisia and the Greek island of Kos.
Its home airport of Luton will benefit from new routes to Hurghada and Sharm el Sheikh on Egypt’s Red Sea coast, as well as Larnaca, Santorini and Preveza in Greece.
EasyJet will also launch flights from Belfast International to Inverness and Corfu, while Bristol will be boosted by routes to the Greek islands of Santorini and Mykonos. While a new twice-daily service between Birmingham and Amsterdam will operate from 28 May.
Other additions include a route from Gatwick to Bourgas in Bulgaria, the gateway to the Sunny Beach resort. This new Gatwick route means that easyJet will base a record 71 aircraft at the Sussex airport this summer flying to 108 destinations.
Ali Gayward, easyJet’s UK country manager, said: “We know that people want to travel as soon as they can, and as soon as it is safe to do so, and so we want to ensure they have even more destinations to choose from when making a booking for this summer.
“While we remain optimistic for summer travel, given the successful roll out of the vaccination programme which will be an important trigger for the government to begin to unwind some restrictions, our Protection Promise means that customers can book with confidence knowing that if they are unable to travel or their plans change so can their flights or holiday.”
Paul Bixby, easyJet holidays commercial director, added: “We’re especially excited to launch holidays to Sunny Beach in Bulgaria for the first time.”
