Ali Gayward, easyJets UK Country Manager commented:
We know our customers cant wait to be reunited with friends and family or to explore the UK so these additional new routes today should prove popular and will further strengthen our UK domestic network providing customers with even more choice.
We were sorry to see the news about Stobart Air and so are pleased to continue to provide key regional connectivity from Belfast International Airport to East Midlands and Leeds Bradford airports, as well as launching easyJet operations for the very first time from Belfast City Airport to London Gatwick.
We also know it is important to our customers to be reunited with loved ones overseas so we continue to urge the UK government to add more countries to the Green list which can be done safely – to make this possible.

About easyJet
easyJet is Europes leading airline offering a unique and winning combination of the best route network connecting Europes primary airports, with great value fares and friendly service.
easyJet flies on more of Europes most popular routes than any other airline and carried more than 96 million passengers in 2019 more than 16 million travelling for business. The airline has over 300 aircraft on nearly 1000 routes to more than 150 airports across 35 countries. Over 300 million Europeans live within one hours drive of an easyJet airport.
easyJet aims to be a good corporate citizen, employing people on local contracts in eight countries across Europe in full compliance with national laws and recognising their trade unions. The airline supports a number of local charities and also has a corporate partnership with UNICEF which has raised over £14m for the most vulnerable children since it was established in 2012.
The airline takes sustainability seriously and is the first major airline to operate carbon neutral flights across its whole network. The airline is achieving this goal by offsetting the carbon emissions from the fuel used for all of its flights. The airline sees this as an interim measure until new technology becomes available to de-carbonise aviation. In the meantime, easyJet will continue to support innovative technology, operate efficiently and aim to fill most of its seats. Since 2000, we have improved our carbon emission per passenger kilometre efficiency by over one third and we have a target to reach a 38% reduction by 2022.
Innovation is in easyJets DNA from our launch over 25 years ago when we changed the way people fly to the present day where we lead the industry in digital, web, engineering and operational innovations to make travel more easy and affordable for our passengers.
The airline was named as Britains Most Admired Company of 2020 in the transport sector, retaining the leading position for a second year running. Britains Most Admired Companies study is the longest-running annual survey of corporate reputation in the UK.
