EasyJet to commence 5 new routes from Birmingham

EasyJet will soon fly to five new destinations from Birmingham Airport.

The new routes launching from this summer will serve Corfu in Greece, Faro in Portugal and Majorca, Malaga and Alicante in Spain.

EasyJet holidays will sell packages to all five destinations served by its airline parent.

Flights to Malaga will operate on Tuesdays and Saturdays and Faro flights will operate on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays. Both services will commence on 29th June 2021. Flights to
Alicante will commence the following days on 30th June 2021 and will operate on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.

On 3rd July 2021 the airline will commence flights from Birmingham to Majorca which will operate on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

Corfu will be the final of the 5 new destinations to launch with services commencing on 4th July 2021 and operating on Thursdays and Sundays.

“We believe that a framework can be put in place for the safe reopening of travel and a strong summer, and we are currently focused on working with the UK government travel taskforce in the coming days and weeks,” said Ali Gayward, easyJet’s UK country manager.

“We are hopeful that progress will continue to be made with the vaccination programmes in Europe, with several countries in Europe having indicated they will be welcoming British tourists this summer.

“We remain of the view that international travel can restart and that, with the right framework in place, restrictions can be safely and progressively reduced and in some cases removed by mid-summer for key destinations.

“We’ve kept our fleet in a flight-ready mode so we are ready and able to ramp up our services quickly and increase our capacity where we see increased demand for the summer.”
