easyJet and easyJet holidays have revealed 11 new routes from Newcastle Airport for summer 2026, with thousands of package holidays now on sale today to the range of brand-new destinations.
New services are set to take off from next summer to Antalya and Dalaman in Turkey, Greek Islands Rhodes and Corfu, Algarve gateway of Faro in Portugal, Mediterranean island Malta, Spanish city Reus, cultural hotspot Prague and the first route connecting Newcastle to Nice in the south of France.
Direct connections to North Africa are also set to operate from Newcastle, with services to the popular Egyptian resort of Sharm-El-Sheikh and Enfidha in Tunisia.
The network expansion comes following the news that easyJet will open a new three-aircraft base at Newcastle Airport in spring 2026.
easyJet already serves eight domestic connections and international routes from Newcastle to popular beach and city destinations Alicante, Amsterdam, Geneva, Malaga, Palma de Mallorca, Paris, Bristol and Belfast.
The opening of the base with the addition of three aircraft at the airport has enabled the airline to more than double the number of destinations now on its network.
Customers in the North East, Southern Scotland, North Yorkshire and Cumbria will have more options as the brands support vital UK connectivity as well as supporting around 1,200 UK jobs, including 130 direct jobs.*
Ali Gayward, easyJet’s Country Manager, said:
“We are really pleased to be able to announce this fantastic range of new routes from our new base at Newcastle for next summer. Our investment in an 11th base in the UK at Newcastle, supporting many jobs for the local economy, is enabling us to provide more direct connectivity, choice and great value for money for our customers in the North East, and we can’t wait to welcome them on board.”
Paul Bixby, Chief Commercial Officer at easyJet holidays, said:
“We’re excited to offer a new range of package holidays for customers in the North East, following the launch of easyJet’s new base at Newcastle Airport. This expansion marks a great opportunity for growth, as holidays continue to be a top priority for consumers.
“Our aim is to make affordable, high-quality getaways more accessible than ever, with a wide selection of beach and city break destinations alongside travel available through to October 2026.”
