EasyJet will be launching three new winter routes to its Scottish network.
Flights from Edinburgh to Rovaniemi, the gateway to Finnish Lapland, which will launch on 3 December and will operate twice a week throughout winter.
Also launching this winter are two new routes from Scotland to Egypt’s scuba diving hotspot Hurghada. Flights will launch from Glasgow twice a week starting from 8 November operating year round, as well as from Edinburgh twice a week starting from 6 November throughout the winter season.
In May, the airline announced it would be launching nine new routes this winter, including the only route from the UK to Akuyeri in Iceland.
Ali Gayward, easyJet's UK country manager, commented: “We’re delighted to be launching even more new routes from our airports across Scotland to a range of fantastic destinations, providing evening more choice for our customers this winter whether they’re looking for a Christmas getaway, hitting the slopes or chasing the winter sun and we can’t wait to welcome more customers on board.”
Rob Lang, head of marketing at Edinburgh Airport said: “Rovaniemi will be a chance to visit Santa, view the Northern Lights and experience that winter postcard for yourself, while Hurghada will be the perfect choice for those seeking some sun and relaxation by the pool.”
Christopher Tibbett, group head of airline relations and marketing for Glasgow Airport, said: “easyJet have already launched several new routes for Glasgow Airport this year; including to Porto and Lisbon; and this additional new route marks an exciting expansion for easyJet and demonstrates our commitment to providing our passengers with diverse and enticing travel options.”
Since launching operations to and from Scotland nearly 30 years ago, easyJet has grown to become the largest airline in Glasgow. It now serves four Scottish airports - Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Inverness - employing more than 720 people.
