Eight new flight routes have been added from the North East - with tickets beginning from £27.
EasyJet has put its 2024 winter programme on sale from Newcastle Airport, with eight new destinations revealed on its schedule.
From October 27, the airline will operate new flights to Paris, six days a week starting from £26.99, as well as a new weekly service to Lyon from January 4, 2025, with fares starting from £29.99.
The new route to Lyon will provide more options for those planning a ski holiday, alongside easyJet’s existing route from Newcastle to Geneva which will increase to three times weekly during the winter season.
EasyJet will also offer even more choices for passengers travelling to Amsterdam, with flights increasing to daily across the winter season.
The airline’s latest investment comes in addition to year-round flights to Belfast and Bristol, up to five-weekly summer flights to Majorca and a twice-weekly service to Alicante in Spain.
Leon McQuaid, Director of Aviation Development at Newcastle Airport, said: “We are delighted to see further investment from easyJet and even more choice for the North East travelling public to explore and enjoy some of Europe’s most popular and beautiful destinations.
“Paris is an amazing city that is renowned for its iconic landmarks, museums and cuisine – plus the route will offer our passengers even easier access to Disneyland Paris.
“We know our customers love Amsterdam – the city offers everything from tranquil boat rides through its picturesque canals to a vibrant art scene and world-class museums.
“Lyon and Geneva both also offer fantastic winter city break options whilst providing additional connectivity to a host of popular resorts during the ski season.”
