Irish carrier expands Gatwick network
Aer Lingus is to expand routes served from its new hub at Gatwick this winter.
The Irish carrier is to fly to six new destinations, bringing the network up to 13 routes as flights to Nice will not run over the winter.
The new routes from October 25 will be Bucharest, Eindhoven, Tenerife, Lanzarote and Warsaw. Flights to Vilinus start on September 10.
They will be in addition to existing services to Dublin, Faro, Knock, Malaga, Munich, Vienna and Zurich.
The airline will operate 118 round trips a week from Gatwick with the addition of the new services.
One way fares start at £24.99 to Eindhoven, rising to £29.99 for Warsaw and £49.99 for the other destinations, including taxes and charges.
Tickets are on sale from today (Tuesday).
Corporate affairs director Enda Corneille said: “Since our first launch back in April, we have sold over 400,000 flights and counting.
“To give our customers a greater choice in destinations, we’ve introduced six new routes which are popular to travellers during the winter months – perfect for anyone looking to escape the British winter.
“We are still competitively priced, as well as making life a little easier for customers with free allocated seating, self service check-in kiosks, web check-in and onboard service that puts our competitors to shame.”
