EasyJet Expands UK Network with Exclusive New Routes to Italy and the Netherlands

In a significant expansion of its flight offerings, easyJet has unveiled two groundbreaking routes from the UK, making travel headlines with its new destination to Salerno’s Amalfi Coast. Starting from 13th July 2024, easyJet stands as the pioneering UK airline to operate commercial flights to this picturesque Italian coast, directly from London Gatwick. The service, set to run on Tuesdays and Saturdays throughout the summer, introduces the Amalfi Coast, a jewel in Italy's crown known for its UNESCO World Heritage status, to the airline's extensive destination list, now tallying at 157.

According to BreakingTravelNews, the introduction of these flights marks a new chapter for the former military-only airport in Salerno, now accessible to the public for commercial travel. This expansion not only connects UK travelers to Italy's charming historical towns, dramatic cliffs, and pristine beaches but also coincides with easyJet holidays' launch of tailored package holidays to the Amalfi coast next summer. This route, complemented by additional launches from Milan, Berlin, Basel, and Geneva, promises a richer travel experience for those eager to explore Italy’s renowned scenic beauty and cultural heritage.

Simultaneously, easyJet is set to revive its Newcastle to Amsterdam service, catering to the diverse interests of travelers seeking either the cultural depth of Amsterdam’s museums and historical landmarks or the vibrant energy of its canals and nightlife. Starting 5th September, with year-round operations on Thursdays and Sundays, this route aims to enhance connectivity and convenience for Northern England’s travelers, whether their visits are for leisure or business purposes.

EasyJet holidays are expanding their offerings with package deals to Salerno for travelers from the UK, Switzerland, France, and Germany, gearing up for the summer 2024 season. These packages, encompassing flights, accommodation, 23kg luggage allowance, and beach holiday transfers, are secured with a modest deposit and backed by the Ultimate Flexibility guarantee, ensuring customers receive the best price available.

With bookings now open on easyJet's website and mobile app, starting at an attractive price point of £27.99, these new routes are anticipated to be a significant draw for travelers seeking new adventures or convenient business travel options. Ali Gayward, easyJet’s Country Manager, expressed enthusiasm for the expansion, highlighting the unique opportunity for UK customers to explore one of Italy's most iconic and scenic destinations, alongside improving connectivity for Northern England to one of Europe’s most beloved cities.
