EasyJet to launch new flights to Copenhagen

EasyJet has announced that it will launch new flights from Manchester Airport to Copenhagen this autumn.

The airline will open a new route providing six weekly flights to Copenhagen from Manchester Airport, more than doubling its number of services from the capital of Denmark.

EasyJet has been gradually expanding its presence in Copenhagen over the past year.

Since last summer, the carrier has launched new services linking the city to Gatwick Airport and Milan, which joined existing connections to Berlin and Stansted Airport.

Thomas Haagensen, easyJet's regional market manager, said: "We believe that Manchester will be a successful route which will attract both business and leisure travellers.

"The percentage of business passengers in particular is generally showing a steady increase and this trend will…be supported by the new route."

The airline's network from Manchester Airport also includes flights to Alicante, Geneva, Tenerife and Athens.
