EasyJet to launch Gatwick flights to Channel Islands
EasyJet is to introduce a year-round service to Jersey from London Gatwick using some of the 25 slots it bought from Flybe earlier this year.
From 30 March 2014, the airline will operate three flights per day between Jersey, offering the choice of a morning, afternoon and evening departure in each direction.
The new service, operated by an Airbus A319 aircraft with 156 seats, will go on sale in September. EasyJet already flies from Jersey to Southend, Liverpool, Newcastle and Glasgow.
EasyJet UK commercial manager Ali Gayward said: "The new early flight will allow business travellers to reach London in time for meetings while the evening departure enables them to travel home on the same day. The introduction of low cost seats will also help to boost tourism to Jersey.
"In developing our plans for London Gatwick we have listened to all the points made by Economic Development and Jersey Airport. Their enthusiasm to work with easyJet has been clear from the start and we hope this support will continue to make the route a success."
