easyJet has relaunched flights to Alicante, Spain, from Newcastle International Airport – to the delight of holidaymakers.
The low-cost airline, which also operates year-round flights to Belfast and Bristol, up to five-weekly summer flights to Majorca and weekly winter flights to Geneva, will now operate a twice-weekly service to Alicante throughout the summer on Tuesdays and Saturdays until the end of October.
These new flights are in addition to the recent announcement that easyJet will relaunch its route from Newcastle to Amsterdam, with flights taking off from 5 September 2024 and operating twice a week on Thursdays and Sundays throughout the year.
easyJet’s latest investment gives customers in the North East even more choice when travelling to some of Europe’s most popular city and beach destinations with Alicante being well known for its rich culture, stunning sun-kissed beaches and fantastic weather.
easyJet holidays, the UK’s fastest growing tour operator, also offers thousands of package holidays, available to book now at www.easyjet.com/en/holidays. Packages include flights, hotel, 23kg luggage and transfers on beach holidays, all covered by its Ultimate Flexibility, offering freedom to change a booking, a refund guarantee, and best price guarantee.
Leon McQuaid, Director of Aviation Development said: “I’m delighted to see easyJet begin operating flights to Alicante from Newcastle International Airport, providing passengers with even more choice to one of our most popular destinations.
“Alicante offers something for everyone, from miles of clean, sandy Mediterranean beaches to local historic landmarks and Alicante’s Old Town district – you certainly won’t be bored on a visit to this Spanish gem.”
Ali Gayward, easyJet’s UK Country Manager said: “We’re delighted to be relaunching our route from Newcastle to Alicante offering even more choice and connectivity to our customers in the North East travelling to Spain’s sunny coast this summer.
“easyJet holidays has a huge range of hotels to choose from. From family-friendly resorts to luxury All Inclusive, there’s something for everyone.”
Newcastle Airport has recently invested over £20m in the passenger experience, redeveloping the security search area and refurbishing the majority of catering outlets in the departure lounge. The Airport’s executive lounge has also benefited from a multi-million pound redevelopment and is now marked as one of the ‘flagship’ Aspire Lounges in the country.
