Easyjet launches five new routes from UK airports

easyJet has confirmed the launch of five new routes from four UK airports, including to Luxor in Egypt for the first time in over a decade. These new flights follow on from the 36 new routes from the UK launched in June: the airline is now offering 41 new flights this winter across Europe and North Africa. Flights to Luxor will launch on November 11 from London Gatwick with twice weekly departures on Mondays and Thursdays. easyJet is also further expanding its services to Egypt with new winter services to Sharm El Sheik from Liverpool, which will take off on February 14 and operate twice a week on Mondays and Fridays throughout the winter. The airline is also launching two new routes to the Norwegian capital Oslo from Manchester from November 15 and Liverpool from November 29, expanding the airline’s connections to Norway following the launch of new routes to Tromso in northern Norway from London Gatwick, Bristol, and Manchester last month. Both routes will operate twice weekly during the winter on Mondays and Fridays. Ali Gayward, easyJet's UK country manager, commented: “By continuing to strengthen our network we’re providing even more choice and connectivity for our customers all across the UK, whether they’re chasing the winter sun, planning a magical winter getaway or hitting the slopes and we look forward to welcoming them on board.”
