It equates to 4.7 million seats.
The airline just launched its inaugural flight on new summer route to Rhodes.
Belfast lights to Rhodes will operate up to twice a week on Saturdays and Tuesdays throughout the summer season until 28 October 2023.
Seats are available to book for this summer.
EasyJet now offers 29 beach and city destinations from Belfast.
