2 Feb 2010

EasyJet has launched services which it claims are the first new routes to be introduced this year.

Flights to Hamburg and Dusseldorf got underway from the airline's London Gatwick hub today (2 February).

During the coming six months, easyJet will launch over 70 new services across its European network, including flights to Cagliari from London Stansted and to Helsinki from Manchester.

The airline will significantly increase its presence at Doncaster Sheffield airport in April with the introduction of routes to Barcelona, Amsterdam, Faro, Palma and Prague.

Chief executive Andy Harrison said: 'EasyJet continues to attract new customers because we offer the lowest fares to the most convenient airports.

'Despite the challenging economic conditions, we will grow 10% and will carry 50m passengers this year on over 500 routes. The 70 new routes we will launch in the coming months will reinforce our position as Europe's number one air transport network.'

The airline will offer a choice of over 500 routes to 28 countries in Europe, north Africa and the Middle East this year.
