Low-cost carrier easyJet has announced the launch and sale of 18 new routes and vacation packages from the United Kingdom ahead of the Summer 2027 season. The expansion encompasses direct flights to multiple destinations across Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Germany, and Montenegro, complemented by its tour operator division, easyJet holidays.
Highlighting this deployment, the carrier is adding six new routes to Spain, six new services from Scottish airports, and numerous city pairs where it will operate as the sole scheduled carrier.
Girona Debut and Spanish Market Expansion
The marquee development in the schedule is the introduction of Girona, a destination easyJet will serve from the UK for the first time with two nonstop links:
- Liverpool – Girona: Launches March 28 with a twice-weekly frequency (Wednesdays and Sundays). easyJet will be the sole operator on this route.
- London Gatwick – Girona: Commences June 3, operating three times weekly (Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays).
Situated in Catalonia, Girona serves as a gateway to the resorts and coastal enclaves of the Costa Brava, alongside its own cultural, historical, and culinary attractions.
The carrier’s Spanish network expansion is rounded out by four additional routes:
- Aberdeen – Barcelona: Starting March 31, operating twice weekly (Wednesdays and Saturdays), positioning the airline as the only nonstop carrier in the city pair.
- Aberdeen – Mallorca: Takes off May 3, operating twice per week (Thursdays and Sundays).
- Liverpool – Murcia: Commences March 29 with twice-weekly flights (Mondays and Fridays) as an exclusive direct service.

Kevin Doyle, easyJet Country Manager for the United Kingdom, stated:
“We are delighted to be offering 18 new routes and package holidays for summer 2027, demonstrating our continued commitment to providing customers across the UK with more choice from their local airport. Our Spanish network is expanding significantly with six new routes from the UK, including Girona for the first time, and we are also further strengthening our presence in Scotland, where we are already the largest airline, with six new routes from Aberdeen and Edinburgh airports.”
With this capacity rollout, the airline is advancing the forward commercialization of its Summer 2027 operational schedule across regional UK airports and core operating bases.
