New connections to Rhodes and Corfu will be offered by easyJet in the summer of 2026 from its new base in Newcastle.
The expansion of its network from Newcastle Airport, where 3 of its aircraft will be based from Spring 2026, includes a total of 11 new routes with new connections to Antalya and Dalaman, Algarve, Malta, the Spanish city of Reus, Prague and the first connection from Newcastle to Nice.
easyJet already operates eight domestic and international routes from Newcastle to popular beach and city destinations including Alicante, Amsterdam, Geneva, Malaga, Palma de Mallorca, Paris, Bristol and Belfast.
The opening of the Newcastle base with the addition of three aircraft has allowed the airline to more than double the number of destinations on its network, providing more choice for its customers from North East England, Southern Scotland, North Yorkshire and Cumbria, and helping to support around 1,200 jobs in the UK, including 130 direct jobs.
This is the carrier’s 11th base in the UK.
