easyJet summer route expansion

Entities: EasyJet · Gavin Birch‑Williams · Glasgow Airport · Scotland · Greece

Overview

In late July 2026 easyJet opened bookings for its summer 2027 schedule to Greece, offering more than 3.1 million seats on over 16 000 flights that connect Greek airports with major European cities. The launch highlights the airline’s long‑term presence in the Greek market since 1998 and its strategy of encouraging early, low‑fare reservations.

A few days later, in early August 2026, easyJet announced the addition of a seventh Airbus A320 to its Glasgow base, raising its Scottish fleet to 17 aircraft. The new plane supports the introduction of three summer routes to Pisa, Malta and Sharm El Sheikh, creating around 400 jobs and reinforcing the carrier’s effort to boost tourism and business travel from Scotland. Together, the two announcements illustrate easyJet’s broader push to expand its summer network across multiple European regions, increasing capacity, destinations and employment.
