EasyJet capitalises as rivals cut Gatwick routes

Budget carrier EasyJet is to boost aircraft and routes from Gatwick this summer as Aer Lingus cuts back from the airport (see previous TravelMole story).

Three aircraft are to be added at Gatwick fleet, increasing the fleet to 43.

The development comes in the wake of recently announced reductions in Gatwick operations by airlines such Aer Lingus and Danish airline Cimber.

EayJet UK regional general manager Paul Simmons said: "We are proud to have developed our business at Gatwick over the last few years.

"As a result of this additional capacity, we plan to announce some great new routes from Gatwick for this summer within the next few weeks."
