easyJet release more than 18,000 budget seats from Bristol Airport to Belfast, Glasgow and Zakynthos

easyJet has released more than 18,000 extra cheap seats from Bristol, starting this summer.

Additional flights have been added each week to Belfast, Glasgow, and Zakynthos, and are available to buy now from as little as £22.66.

The airline has added two more weekly flights to Belfast on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, meaning it will now operate the route up to 20 times a week throughout the summer. Flights launch from July 4.

An additional weekly flight to Glasgow on Thursdays will mean easyJet will now operate this route up to 23 times a week from July 6 and throughout the summer.

Glasgow continues to prove to be one of easyJet’s most popular domestic routes from Bristol and more than 50 easyJet flights every week connect Bristol with Scotland.

The airline will also offer an additional flight to the Greek Island Zakynthos throughout the summer, with the first flight taking off on July 8.

Ali Gayward, easyJet’s UK country manager commented: “We’re really pleased to be adding even more frequent flights to our Bristol network and to be putting flights on sale today, allowing our customers to book early and take advantage of our lowest fares to some of our most popular business and leisure destinations.

“easyJet is the largest airline at Bristol and we have been committed to providing excellent connectivity to the South West for over 18 years. We are proud to have carried more than over 53 million passengers in that time.

“We’re committed to expansion at Bristol Airport and the addition of these additional flights will help us to deliver long term, sustainable growth, providing passengers with a greater range of convenient flights across our network, all with low fares and great service.”

'We are delighted'

Bristol Airport is easyJet's largest UK base outside of London, and the airline has flown more than 53 million passengers from the regional airport since it launched there 18 years ago.

Nigel Scott, business development director at Bristol Airport, said: “We are delighted with easyJet’s announcement adding additional frequency to key routes on Bristol’s network. This further demonstrates the strong demand in the region for both business and leisure travel.

"This is the tenth year of successive growth at Bristol and we are continuing to work with easyJet looking at future route opportunities.”
