The airline has expanded its Liverpool base while launching direct flights to Seville and Naples.
Liverpool John Lennon Airport is celebrating the arrival of easyJet’s ninth based aircraft, marking another milestone in the airline’s continued expansion in the North West.
The 186-seat Airbus A320 will enable easyJet to increase capacity, improve operational resilience and offer passengers across the region greater choice and connectivity.
Its arrival also supports hundreds of direct and indirect jobs linked to the airline’s operations at Liverpool John Lennon Airport.
The expansion coincides with the launch of easyJet’s first flights from Liverpool to Seville and Naples, giving passengers direct access to two popular southern European destinations.
Seville is renowned for its historic streets, architecture, tapas and year-round sunshine, while Naples offers famous cuisine, a vibrant city centre and easy access to destinations including the Amalfi Coast.
The new services provide passengers with additional options for both city breaks and longer holidays.
The ninth aircraft represents further investment by easyJet in Liverpool and the wider North West as demand for flights and package holidays from the region continues to grow.
