This weekend easyJet, Europe's leading low cost airline, launches 16 new routes with the start of its winter 2004 schedule. The new routes connect more UK bases with Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, as well as introducing Estonia to the network. easyJet is also expanding its intra-continental network with half of the new routes directly connecting popular cities in mainland Europe, providing a greater choice of routes for French, German, Italian, Polish, Spanish and Swiss passengers. easyJet recognises the great potential in Eastern Europe and, since the 10 accession countries joined the EU earlier this year, the airline has seen a great deal of demand from both business and leisure passengers. But it's not just new countries; the airline is also making significant additions to its Spanish and Italian networks. By the end of March 2005, easyJet will operate 189 routes across 55 cities with more planned, reflecting the vast opportunities for growth that exist all over Europe. Most of these routes will be operated by the 13 brand new Airbus A319s which are being delivered this winter. The new routes that start on Sunday 31at October are: Alicante - Geneva Berlin - Madrid, Krakow Bristol - Budapest, Madrid, Rome Budapest - Bristol, Geneva, Newcastle Dortmund to Krakow Geneva - Budapest, Alicante, Rome Krakow - Dortmund, Berlin London Gatwick to Rome and Venice London Stansted to Tallinn Madrid - Berlin, Bristol, Paris ORY, Newcastle - Budapest, Rome Paris (Orly ) to Madrid Rome - Geneva, Gatwick, Bristol, Newcastle Tallinn - Stansted There are an additional four new routes also starting next week: London Luton to Basel (1st November) Valencia to Bristol and London Stansted (3rd November) London Luton to Warsaw (3rd November)
