Prague Morning

The carrier will open a base in the northeast of England.

Prague Airport will gain a direct flight connection with the English city of Newcastle upon Tyne.

Low-cost carrier easyJet will open a new base there, and Prague is on the list of eleven planned destinations. The Newcastle-Prague connection will begin operations on August 2 next year.

It is scheduled to fly twice a week. Other new destinations for Newcastle will be Corfu, Malta, Faro, Dalaman, Nice, Rhodes, Antalya, Enfidha, Reus and Sharm el-Sheikh.

EasyJet already flies to eight other destinations from Newcastle. It will house three aircraft. This will create around 130 direct jobs for pilots, crew and technical staff.

“The opening of an 11th base in the UK is part of easyJet’s strategy to capitalise on key growth opportunities across its network. The additional base strengthens the company’s network by enabling it to further increase its share of the UK leisure market and support the rapid growth of easyJet holidays,” the airline said in a press release.

The UK is easyJet’s largest market, with 56% of all its customers flying to and from UK airports.

The carrier will also launch 44 new routes from the UK this summer.

As for easyJet’s offering from Prague, three months ago the airline announced plans to introduce a direct connection from Ruzyně to Bordeaux. The first flight will depart on 27 October.
