From the NIA website:
easyJet has today announced it will increase capacity on eight of its routes from the North East’s airport with the arrival of a new aircraft.
The £20m Airbus A320 will arrive at the airport later this year meaning easyJet is able to provide seats for 13,000 more North East passengers.
Hugh Aitken, easyJet’s commercial manager, confirmed: “Due to increased customer demand we are replacing an Airbus A319 with an A320 to provide additional seats to our loyal flyers. This move demonstrates that easyJet is committed to Newcastle Airport and continues to invest in this key base for the benefit of passengers in the region. We are determined to make travel even easier and more affordable for all, and a larger aircraft means we can make some of our most popular destinations even more accessible to people in the North East. Passengers flying from Newcastle will now find it even easier to jet off and soak up the sun and city culture with additional flights to favourites such as Malta, Majorca, Paris and Bristol.”
Additional capacity will be available on easyJet’s most popular routes:
Malta, Majorca, Paris, Bristol, Alicante, Malaga, Barcelona and Belfast.
Good day for Newcastle!
