From autumn 2014 onwards easyJet, Scotland’s largest airline, will offer the only direct connections from Aberdeen to Geneva, as well as flights from Glasgow to Marrakech and Edinburgh to Funchal.
The new routes went on sale this morning at www.easyJet.com and will broaden the range of easy and affordable winter sun and skiing destinations available to Scottish holidaymakers.
Edinburgh to Funchal, Portugal is a year round service which will fly twice per week from 3 February. Fares start from £43.99 one way.
Aberdeen to Geneva, Switzerland is a winter service operating weekly from 13 December. Fares start from £40.99 one way.
Glasgow to Marrakech, Morocco is a year round service operating twice per week from 29 October. Fares start from £42.99 one way.
In total easyJet is now offering 33 destinations with over 2.3 million seats to and from Inverness, Aberdeen, Glasgow and Edinburgh Airports this winter – this is more than any other airline operating in Scotland.
easyJet has already introduced four new routes to Scotland in 2014 including double daily connections between Inverness and London Gatwick and new links to Croatia and Greece from Glasgow.
Ali Gayward, easyJet’s Head of Scotland, said: “As Scotland’s largest airline we are pleased to further strengthen our network of easy and affordable destinations based on feedback from our passengers. We believe Marrakech and Funchal will prove popular winter sun destinations while Geneva offers access to the world class skiing resorts in France and Switzerland.
“In total easyJet now serves 33 destinations from Scotland spanning the UK, Europe, Iceland and North Africa. The new routes will launch this winter and will complement our existing network of leisure and business flights from Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Inverness.”
Holidaymakers from Scotland can also take advantage of easyJet’s extensive Gatwick network more easily through the introduction of ‘Gatwick Connect’. This is a new service which allows customers to transfer their luggage from one easyJet flight to another before proceeding through security – cutting out a second bag drop queue and allowing passengers to make their way directly to the next flight. easyJet now has 107 destinations on sale from Gatwick.
