EasyJet to offer extra winter flights

EasyJet has released its 2009-10 winter schedule from Gatwick Airport, confirming that it will operate additional flights to a number of destinations across Europe.

Both Zurich and Vienna will be served by two daily flights over the winter, while frequency to Munich will increase to three services a day.

EasyJet will also continue to offer connections to perennially popular destinations such as Palma and Alicante for winter sun getaways and Geneva for ski holidays.

The release of this year's schedule represents easyJet's earliest ever sale of winter flights.

Explaining the move, Paul Simmons, the airline's general manager in the UK, said: "Whilst most of us are eagerly awaiting our summer holiday, we know that people want to escape the doom and gloom of the credit crunch and book their important holidays now; such as their ski break or Christmas holiday."

For the summer season this year, easyJet will be increasing its number of flights from Gatwick Airport to popular holiday destinations including Bodrum, Dalaman and Toulouse.
