700,000 to jet off with easyJet this Easter

Each year, more and more of us are taking a well-earned Easter break, and this year is no egg-ception! easyJet, Europe’s leading low-fares airline, will welcome a record number of passengers on its flights over the Easter holidays thanks to its huge choice of fantastic destinations and combination of low-fares with care and convenience.

Close to 700,000 passengers are set to travel with easyJet across its European network this weekend, with over 300,000 passengers flying on routes out of London (Gatwick, Luton and Stansted), which represents a 19% increase in the number of passengers taking advantage of the Spring break compared to last year.

The favourite hotspots for Brits are clearly the sun terraces of; Alicante, Barcelona and Nice, whilst Geneva, Turin and Venice are also particularly popular destinations for travellers who want to slip into their ski boots one last time before the season ends.

easyJet’s Consumer PR Executive, Marianne West, said: “More people than ever are taking advantage of their Easter break this year with close to 700,000 passengers jetting off across Europe with easyJet. With the majority of passengers looking to soak up the sun or hitting the slopes to make the most of the last snow of the season, getting away from the unreliable English weather or DIY superstores, seems to be the main objective.”
