easyJet announces big Gatwick expansion
New routes to Budapest, Murcia, Cologne, Rome, and Venice - and more routes from Gatwick than any other London airport!
easyJet has today outlined the next stage in its ongoing expansion plans at London's Gatwick Airport, resulting in at least an additional eight services each day.
Over the course of the next few months, easyJet will add frequencies to a number of existing routes and start new services to wholly-new destinations.
In September, easyJet will:
Start services to Budapest and Cologne
Increase frequency to Madrid to two flights per day
In November, easyJet will:
Start services to Rome and Venice
Increase frequency to Cologne to two flights per day
In February, easyJet will:
Start services to Murcia
Increase frequency to Geneva to five flights per day

easyJet is also in the planning stage to put more services into Gatwick, the results of which will be announced very shortly.
Ray Webster, easyJet Chief Executive, said:
"I am very excited to be announcing new routes and increased frequencies from Gatwick as it marks the next step in our continued, planned expansion from the airport. Taking into account the services we announced today, easyJet will have grown some 40% year on year at London Gatwick.
"Once the new services commence to Budapest, Murcia, Cologne, Rome and Venice, we will fly to more destinations from Gatwick than from any other base on the easyJet network - including Stansted and Luton.
"The fact that we can start five new routes and add only a single new point to the network underlines why we put so much emphasis on network density and the joining-the-dots element of our growth strategy."
