New Route
NEW route from Edinburgh to Munich
easyJet, Europe's leading low-fares airline, today announced it would be bringing more low-fares to Scotland by adding a new direct European route from Edinburgh. The daily service to Munich will bring the total number of destinations served by easyJet from its Edinburgh base to nine, with an overall capacity increase of 5%.The airline expects to carry almost 100,000 passengers on this route in the first 12 months.Earlier this year easyJet converted its bases at Edinburgh and Glasgow to solely Airbus operations, replacing the current fleet of Boeing 737 aircraft with brand new Airbus 319s. This move, together with the expansion of its Glasgow operations earlier this year, reflects easyJet’s continued commitment to its future in Scotland.
David Osborne, easyJet UK General Manager Commercial, commented:
“easyJet is thrilled to be bringing this direct new route from Edinburgh to Munich. The German city is an important business centre as well as a historic and cultural city, ideal for business passengers and for weekend breaks. This direct route is not only advantageous for Scots on business and leisure but will also bring economic benefit to Scotland by bringing German tourists to the region.
This new route is the first step in easyJet’s expansion plans for Edinburgh in 2007 and we look forward to announcing more new routes in the coming weeks.”

Seems a bit like what we heard when Belfast-Krakow, and we're still waiting........
