EasyJet confirms extra winter flights

EasyJet will extend its range of winter services during the 2009-10 season by launching 15 new routes across Europe.

Liverpool Airport will feature in the expansion, hosting new flights to Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, while Luton Airport will be linked to Sharm el Sheikh and Paphos.

Gatwick Airport will also host two new easyJet services - to Hamburg and Porto - and Edinburgh Airport will be given a new connection to Lyon.

The range of new routes - which will also include intra-European flights serving destinations such as Rome and Amsterdam - will come into operation gradually between October this year and February 2010.

Andy Harrison, chief executive of easyJet, said: "We are delighted to be announcing even more new routes from the UK and across Europe.

"Times are tough for consumers, so we are proud to offer great year-round holiday opportunities in fantastic places such as Paphos, Fuerteventura and Sharm El Sheikh for incredibly low prices."

During the summer season this year, easyJet's additional services will include flights to Athens, Corfu and Dalaman from Manchester Airport.
