Easyjet has announced it is to launch its first service from Leeds-Bradford airport and three further services from Liverpool’s John Lennon Airport during a week of buoyant financial news.
The carrier will operate out of Leeds Bradford to Geneva five times a week from this December. It will also start six times weekly services to Brussels from February 7 and a three times weekly flights to Tallinn from April 26. It will also operate to Salzburg.
The consolidation of Liverpool as a base for the carrier comes in a week when Easyjet released better than expected full year profits, prompting its share price to zoom up by 10%.
Pre-tax profits for the year to September 30 is now expected to surpass £150m.
UK commercial manager Ali Gayward said: “The three new routes cater for the full range of passengers that use our service from businesses looking to reduce their travel costs, holidaymakers seeking exciting new destinations or skiers wanting an affordable way to access the slopes.
“The expansion of our Liverpool operation reflects our commitment to providing travellers in the region with the best choice of destinations at the lowest possible fares.”
