easyJet launches flights to Istanbul from Bristol Airport

easyJet has launched its first flights and package holidays from Bristol Airport to Istanbul.

Flights will operate twice a week on Mondays and Fridays year-round to Turkey’s largest city.

easyJet holidays has a range of beach and city break packages on offer, with bookings available until 31 October 2026.

The new route to Istanbul from Bristol follows the recent launch of easyJet’s new twice weekly service, every Wednesday and Saturday, from the city to Agadir in Morocco, which started on 27 October.

Customers can also soon fly from Bristol to Tromso in Norway.

Ali Gayward, easyJet’s UK country manager, said: “Our brand new service from Bristol to Istanbul provides our customers in the South West with a direct connection to one of Europe’s most popular and culturally exciting cities.

“Coming hot on the heels of our recently launched route to Agadir and soon to start service Tromso, customers in the region have even more choice of where to fly with great value fares.

“And with thousands of package holidays available via easyJet holidays and with hundreds of hotels to choose from, there’s something for everyone.”

Dave Lees, CEO, Bristol Airport, said: “We are thrilled to welcome easyJet’s new routes to Istanbul in Turkey and Agadir in Morocco. These exciting new destinations add to the extensive route network and flexibility of flights available from Bristol Airport, and it shows the strength in demand from customers in the South West and Wales wishing to travel further afield.

“Istanbul is a great city for business and leisure, so it’s good news for many of our customers, who can now fly from their local airport.

“Istanbul also opens up a wide range of connecting flights for those looking to explore Asia and beyond.

“The new route to Agadir will allow travellers to escape the colder months and enjoy the warm Moroccan heat and the many water sport activities it has to offer. We look forward to working with easyJet on further new route opportunities including Tromso in the coming months.”
