easyJet is scrapping two of its routes from Liverpool John Lennon Airport.
From the end of March 2023, the airline will no longer fly from Liverpool to Madrid, while flights are no longer available between John Lennon Airport and Krakow. easyJet said this is a result of it maintaining routes which prove most popular with customers.
However, passengers wishing to visit Krakow will still be able to fly from Liverpool, as Ryanair also operates the route. No direct flights will be available between Liverpool and Madrid once easyJet stops operating the route, though passengers can fly with Ryanair from Manchester Airport to the Spanish capital.

An easyJet spokesperson told the ECHO : “easyJet can confirm that we will no longer operate flights from Liverpool to Madrid and Krakow. We concentrate our efforts on maintaining and developing routes which prove most popular with customers, focusing on offering routes with the greatest demand including a recently relaunched route to Paris Charles de Gaulle and will operate around 365,000 seats to and from Liverpool this winter, around 20% more than the same period last year.”
The relaunched easyJet route between Liverpool and Paris Charles de Gaulle is one of many to be announced in recent months. Icelandic airline PLAY began operating from the Speke-based airport last month, offering services between Liverpool and Reykjavík–Keflavík Airport, as well as onward connections to America.
Additionally, it was announced earlier this month that Norwegian airline Widerøe will return to Liverpool John Lennon Airport next year. Scandinavia’s largest regional airline last operated from Liverpool in 2020, with their previous service coming to an end due to the Covid-19 pandemic. However, it will return with twice weekly departures to Bergen from March 31, 2023.
