EasyJet expands Liverpool winter network

Three new winter routes are being added by easyJet from Liverpool John Lennon airport.

New connections are being offered to Krakow, Vienna and Almeria in Spain.

The budget carrier is now operating 37 routes to 17 countries from Liverpool to destinations across Europe and North Africa.

Flights to Krakow will run twice a week on Mondays and Fridays from November 3, while Vienna will be served three times a week from November 13 throughout the Christmas period. 

The Almeria route will be flown twice a week on Tuesdays and Saturdays from October 28, the first time the Andalusian destination has been served from Merseyside.

The arrival of easyJet’s eighth Airbus A320neo to be based at Liverpool enables the airline to expand its network and offer more package holidays.

The winter plans follow the introduction of eight routes from Liverpool airport over the past 12 months, including Malta, Fuerteventura, Prague, Berlin, Marrakesh, Londonderry, Sharm el Sheikh and Split.

EasyJet UK country manager Ali Gayward said: "We’re very pleased to be releasing even more new routes from Liverpool this winter with new connections to Krakow, Vienna and Almeria providing more direct access to some of Europe’s top ski resorts and Christmas markets.

“They are fantastic destinations for winter breaks for our customers across the northwest and all offer customers greater choice and exceptional value, while we always aim to make travel easy.”
