easyJet has announced the addition of 22 new and returning routes from 12 UK airports. This expansion enhances its position as the carrier with the most UK flights, largely due to its domestic operations. The new routes supplement the previously announced services to Newcastle, which will commence with the reopening of easyJet's base in March 2026.
The added routes cater primarily to outbound demand for leisure destinations, especially beach locations. The role of easyJet Holidays is expected to be significant in driving success, while Jet2 remains a primary competitor. These developments align with the switch to winter schedules on October 26, as per IATA slot seasons.
Among the new routes, 17 will operate weekly or twice-weekly during their respective periods. Notably, eight out of fifteen routes launching in October and November are currently unserved by other carriers. Some previously served connections are being reintroduced, such as Bristol to Vienna and London Gatwick to Toulouse.
