easyJet has started two new services from Newcastle International Airport to Berlin Schoenefeld Airport and Las Palmas Airport in Gran Canaria. The two new routes are expected to carry more than 36,000 passengers in the first year.
The airline’s new route to Berlin Schoenefeld is the only direct scheduled flight between Newcastle and the German city, opening both up to more tourism and making connecting between the two easier than ever.
Ali Gayward, easyJet’s UK Commercial Manager, commented: “We’re really excited to start these two exciting new routes from Newcastle International Airport today. Not only will they enable our North-East passengers to explore these great destinations and connect loved ones but they will also help to further enhance inbound tourism for Newcastle.
“We’ve seen a huge amount of demand on these flights already and we are confident that passengers at both ends of each route will enjoy what the other has to offer. We’re seeing more and more people using our services to visit Newcastle for both leisure and business trips.
“easyJet is committed to Newcastle and our passengers now have a choice of 17 of Europe’s best city, ski and beach destinations to choose from.”
Leon McQuaid, Aviation Development Manager at Newcastle International Airport, said: “We are delighted to see the start of these new and exciting flights, and it’s great to see easyJet’s commitment to the region with even more choice for the north east travelling public.
“Berlin is a fantastic destination and another leading European city now available from Newcastle. With flights conveniently timed up to three times a week year-round, we expect this service to be extremely popular with both business and leisure travellers. As well as anticipating further growth in outbound tourism, we also expect this service to deliver a significant increase of inbound traffic to the region.
“Gran Canaria continues to be a favoured destination for our passengers and will be ideal for those looking to escape for some winter sun.”
