easyJet launches direct Bristol‑Strasbourg route, boosting UK‑France travel
Budget carrier easyJet will begin a new direct service from Bristol Airport to Strasbourg, France, with the first flight scheduled for 20 November 2026. The flights will operate twice weekly, on Mondays and Fridays, making easyJet the only airline offering a nonstop link between the two cities.
The launch coincides with easyJet’s expansion at Bristol, including the addition of a 20th aircraft to the airport, a move the carrier says will support roughly 400 jobs. The airline now operates 91 routes from Bristol to destinations across 27 countries in Europe and North Africa, serving about six million passengers annually. Kevin Doyle, easyJet’s UK country manager, and Rupert Lawrie, commercial director of Bristol Airport, highlighted the new route as part of the carrier’s commitment to greater regional connectivity.
