Winter routes push by Easyjet

Easyjet is to start a raft of new routes across Euorpe in the winter.

Eight of the 15 new routes will run from UK airports, mainly to winter sun destinations.

The low cost carrier is to serve Sharm el Sheikh and Paphos from Luton; Fuerteventura from Liver pool and Stansted; Lanzarote from Liverpool; Lyon from Edinburgh, Hamburg and Porto from Gatwick.

Other services added to the network for winter 2009-10 include six routes from Rome and one from Madrid.

Fares from the UK start at £27.99 one-way on the three flights a week between Edinburgh and Lyon and rise to £75.99 one-way from Luton to the Red Sea resort of Sharm el Sheikh which will be also be served three times a week.

The new flights start between November 2 (Liverpool-Fuerteventura) and February 2, 2010 (Gatwick-Hamburg) with the majority starting in early November.

Chief executive Andy Harrison said: "Times are tough for consumers so we are proud to offer great year-round holiday destinations for incredibly low prices."
