easyJet has announced that it will add more capacity to its base at EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg this summer, and introduce an additional three new routes.
The daily flights from Basle to Madrid and Hamburg commence on Thursday 11th August, whilst the daily flights to Malaga start on Friday 12th August.
This expansion is a continuation of the development of EuroAirport as easyJet's second Swiss base, and will increase the total number of routes offered to 13, with four aircraft operating through the airport. These new routes are in addition to six announced last month to Alicante, Barcelona, Naples, Nice, Palma and Rome. These new flights will all start on the 17th June.
Madrid and Malaga are currently well served easyJet destinations that have proved to be very popular, with both cities having extensive flights to and from the UK. The Hamburg service adds a new city to the easyJet network, taking the total number of destinations served to 62, with a total of 205 routes throughout Europe.
Ray Webster, easyJet Chief Executive commented:
easyJet's expansion at Basel's EuroAirport is a further step in easyJet's commitment to intra European travel and reflects the airlines growth plans for Germany. The airline will now offer a choice of 13 routes from its new Basel base and today's announcement increases the number of German airports on easyJet's network to five".
