EasyJet announces additional Gatwick services to holiday hotspots

Low cost carrier easyJet is to add capacity at Gatwick for a number of popular summer holiday destinations next year.

The airline has announced it will increase its services to Lanzarote from ten flights a week to twice daily and Athens will now be served by an extra four weekly flights from 13 a week to 17 a week.

Flights to Malta will increase by three flights a week and departures to Naples will increase from 14 a week to 18 a week with triple daily flights on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays.

The carrier is also launching a promotion for flights to Lanzarote, Naples, Athens and Malta offered at £24.99 for travel between October 22 and December 11.

EasyJet also recently announced it will operate a new route to the Greek island of Santorini from London Luton this summer operating three times a week on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

Ali Gayward, UK country manager, said: “We are delighted to be adding additional flights for customers thinking about a late summer holiday this year or looking ahead to next year.

“For sun-seekers Lanzarote in the Canaries is a firm favourite for guaranteed summer sun, whilst the historic sights of Malta in the heart of the Med or an ancient Greek experience in Athens offers a rich cultural holiday experience.

“Finally, Naples in southern Italy provides for those looking for the perfect combination of new and old traditions to explore.  The additional flying from both Gatwick and Luton means we can offer more choice and great value fares for our customers.”

Next summer, services from London Luton to Rhodes, Heraklion, Thessaloniki, Tenerife, Krakow and Porto will all increase to seven flights a week.

EasyJet will also be adding 30% capacity to Palma, Majorca, offering 28 flights a week from Gatwick

The airline is also increasing flight capacity to Milan by over 50%, from daily to triple daily, with 21 flights a week.
