easyJet
is set to launch five new routes from Bristol to
Krakow, La Rochelle, Marseille, Rijeka
(Croatia) and Toulouse this summer.
According
to the budget airline, these routes are the result of the introduction of a
ninth aircraft being based at Bristol, bringing the total number of
destinations served by easyJet to 30 and increasing the capacity at its Bristol
base by almost 10%. The new routes to Krakow, La Rochelle,
Marseille and Rijeka
are not currently served by any other carrier from Bristol International
airport.
In
the next 12 months, easyJet says it expects to carry some 300,000 passengers on
these new routes and almost 3,000,000 in total from Bristol. All five destinations are expected
to be popular with both business and leisure passengers, not only for
Bristolians traveling abroad, but also for inbound passengers bringing business
and tourism to the region.

“Bristol’s largest airline
is delighted to be announcing more routes to more destinations once again.
easyJet is the only airline to offer low-cost flights with both care and convenience
for its customers – no wonder almost 3 million people will fly with us from Bristol over the course of
the next year,” says Toby Nicol, easyJet Communications Director.
