easyJet launches new Bristol - Innsbruck service

easyJet, the UK’s largest airline, will today welcome passengers onboard its inaugural flight from Bristol to Innsbruck, giving the region’s travellers an even greater choice of destinations from their local airport.

Fare for the three times weekly (Mon, Fri, Sun) service to Innsbruck are available from £24.99 one way including taxes and the airline expects to carry 13,000 passengers on the route during the first 12 months of operation.

Innsbruck is the provincial capital of the Tyrol, situated in the valley of the Inn River between the Alps and the Tuxer Mountains. One of the most popular, up and coming new low-fare destinations for 2008, the beautiful city of Innsbruck is known as the “Capital of the Alps” and is the perfect gateway for snowsports enthusiasts to reach the stunning Austria ski resorts.

David Osborne, UK General Manager Commercial said:

It’s been another exciting year for Bristolians, with the introduction of seven new easyJet routes from their local airport in 2007, to destinations such as Bordeaux, Ibiza and Gdansk, and there are more to come in 2008, with seats already on sale for our new routes to Biarritz, Olbia and Split.
