easyJet (U2/EZY) is expanding its UK network with the introduction of dozens of new routes from airports across the country, offering passengers a wider choice of destinations for the coming winter and summer seasons.
The airline says it has 61 new routes on sale from 15 UK airports, comprising 38 services for the Winter 2026/27 season and a further 23 for Summer 2027. The expansion includes new connections to destinations across Europe, North Africa and the Mediterranean, as well as additional domestic services within the UK.
Among the latest additions are a new daily service between Southampton and Edinburgh, flights from London Gatwick to Cagliari in Sardinia and a new connection between London Luton and Rennes in France.
The announcement also brings a number of new destinations to easyJet’s UK network, including Girona in Spain and Nuremberg in Germany, while the airline is also restoring services to Pristina in Kosovo.
Regional airports feature prominently in the expansion, with Newcastle, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Glasgow, Liverpool and Southampton among those benefiting from additional connections. The developments come as easyJet continues to invest in its UK operations and broaden the range of destinations available outside London’s major airports.
Newcastle is particularly prominent in the winter programme, with the airline adding services to Copenhagen, Berlin and Rovaniemi, alongside flights to Barcelona, Fuerteventura, Kraków, Reykjavík, Hurghada and Larnaca.
The additions further strengthen easyJet’s presence in the North East following the opening of its Newcastle base earlier in 2026.
Scottish airports are also receiving a significant boost. Edinburgh will gain new connections to Tromsø, Hamburg, Bilbao, Rome Fiumicino and Tivat, as well as domestic services to London Southend and Southampton. Aberdeen will gain flights to Belfast, Barcelona and Palma de Mallorca, while Glasgow will see a new connection to Kraków.
The winter schedule also includes several routes aimed at passengers seeking winter sun and city breaks. Manchester will gain flights to Cairo Sphinx, providing access to the Egyptian capital and the Giza region, as well as new services to Nuremberg and Vienna. London Luton will add connections to Rabat, Nuremberg, Kittilä, Strasbourg, Pristina and Thessaloniki, alongside its new Rennes service for summer 2027.
There is also a notable expansion into northern Europe, with new services to Finnish Lapland from London Luton and Liverpool, and a new Newcastle–Rovaniemi connection. Edinburgh will also gain flights to Tromsø, giving passengers another direct option for visiting Norway’s Arctic region.
For summer 2027, the network expansion will bring additional Mediterranean and European destinations within reach of passengers travelling from regional airports. These include Milan Malpensa from Birmingham, Montpellier from Bristol, Burgas from Bristol, Bastia from Manchester and Rhodes from London Southend.
Southampton is among the biggest beneficiaries of the latest summer announcement, with three new routes. The daily Edinburgh service will provide a domestic connection between the south coast and Scotland, while Malaga and La Rochelle will offer additional European leisure destinations.
The new routes will be introduced progressively between October 2026 and July 2027, with services operating at different frequencies depending on the destination. All announced routes are available to book through easyJet’s website and mobile application.
