easyJet launches two new routes from Manchester

easyJet, the UK’s largest airline, launches two new routes this week connecting Manchester with Malaga and Crete.

Spain and Greece have been popular destinations for generations of Brits looking to escape to the summer sun and these new services will provide the region's travellers with access to some of the most beautiful scenery and best beaches in Europe.

The airline expects to carry 123,000 passengers on the two new routes in the next 12 months.

Malaga is the major coastal city of Andalusia and is a genuine and typical Andalusian town. It is home to one of the most celebrated botanical collections in Europe and has several galleries showing the work of the city’s son, Picasso. The Costa del Sol has a golden coastline, so inviting for those long lazy days in the sun.

Crete is the largest of the Greek islands and the fifth largest in the Mediterranean. It boasts 1000 kilometres of golden coastline that stretch alongside the beautiful blue Mediterranean Sea. The Cretan sun, the sounds of the Cretan lyre, a slice of cool, red watermelon and a glass of iced raki, hit all the right buttons to make you sit back, unwind and soak up the glorious sunshine.

David Osborne, easyJet UK General Manager, said:

“This week Manchester will see two great new summer sun destinations from the North West, with easyJet. Mancunians can now take advantage of easyJet’s famously low fares to the summer hotspots across Europe, with the care and convenience when flying from your local airport.”
