Budget airline adds new route from Bristol Airport

EasyJet has added a new route from Bristol Airport to the Greek island of Crete.

The airline said it will operate twice weekly flights between Chania and Bristol.

It is part of a wider expansion of 11 new routes from nine UK airports.

Ali Gayward, EasyJet’s UK Country Manager said: “We are delighted to be launching even more new routes from the UK and to be operating to new destinations for the very first time this summer, so that we can provide our customers with an even wider range of fantastic beach and city routes across Europe, North Africa and the Middle East to explore and enjoy.

“We remain committed to strengthening our unrivalled short-haul network and providing affordable and convenient connections for our customers across the UK, all with great value fares and the warm welcome that our crew are famous for.”

The news comes a week after it was announced Jet2 is to add two new routes from Bristol in response to an increase in demand for international travel.
