Essaouira in Morocco and Stuttgart in Germany have been added as new destinations to easyJet’s network from the UK for next summer.
The budget carrier is to operate 26 new routes and is set to become the only UK airline offering direct flights to Essaouira, on Morocco’s western coast, with two flights a week from Luton.
More than 29,000 passengers are expected to fly throughout next year with the coastal town joining Marrakech and Agadir on the airline’s network.
The new routes on sale will provide over 420,000 additional seats across the entire easyJet network.
Stuttgart becomes the airline’s eighth destination in Germany while Porto in Portugal becomes a new easyJet base with new UK flights to and from Manchester, Luton and Bristol.
Over 37 million seats have gone on sale across the entire network with more than 21 million of these available on flights in and out of the UK.
Prices for Luton to Essaouira start at £40.99 one-way, Manchester to Porto from £30.99, Gatwick to Stuttgart from £38.99 and Bristol to Catania from £34.99.
The airline’s UK director Sophie Dekkers said: “Our new routes are making it easier and more affordable than ever for our customers to travel to a range of summer sun destinations, along with connections to business hubs for our growing proportion of business travellers.
“We expect our new destinations to be especially popular with passengers and with a mixture of fantastic summer sun hot spots and short city breaks such as Stuttgart, we are continuing to deliver a network of destinations which provide our customers with flexibility and choice, underlining our commitment to both leisure and business passengers alike.”
