Fares from £28.99 as easyJet adds 50,000 extra seats to green list destinations

Budget airline easyJet has put more than 50,000 extra seats on sale to new green list destinations.

More than 80 flights a week are planned to Palma de Mallorca from 10 UK airports – Gatwick, Luton, Belfast, Glasgow, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Birmingham, Bristol, Manchester and Liverpool – with fares starting at £28.99 one-way.

Ibiza will have 40 flights a week from Gatwick, Bristol, Belfast, London Luton, Manchester with prices starting at £32.99.

Up to 25 flights a week are scheduled to Menorca from Bristol, Gatwick, Luton and Manchester with fares starting at £32.99.

There are also new routes from Bristol and London Luton to Malta which will launch next month and more seats to Malta on existing routes from London Gatwick and Manchester.

Johan Lundgren, easyJet chief executive, said: "We really want to get back to what we do best and connect people across Europe so we welcome these additions to the Green list and in response we have put over fifty thousand more seats on sale to new and existing routes to Green destinations.

"This includes brand new routes from Bristol and Luton to Malta, meaning we now have around one million seats operating to current European Green list destinations this summer.

“And with two-thirds of UK adults expected to be double jabbed by July 19, now is the time to let British citizens take advantage of the success of the vaccination programme so we urge the Government to move quickly to remove quarantine and testing for fully vaccinated people travelling from Amber and Green countries.

"This is overdue and unless testing is also removed flying could become the preserve of the rich again.

easyJet is ready and able to ramp up and we look forward playing our part in reuniting people with their loved ones or take them on a well-deserved break.”
