easyJet, Europe’s leading airline, has today announced a new route from Birmingham to Nantes in France, which will take off this summer. The new route comes following new summer services to Faro, Malaga and Palma de Mallorca which are also set to take off for this first time this summer.

 

Flights to Nantes are scheduled to launch on 27 June 2022, with weekly departures on Mondays and Fridays. The new route will offer customers in the Midlands even more choice when it comes to picking a holiday destination for the summer.

Once an industrial port city with a thriving shipbuilding industry, Nantes is now the perfect destination for a city break. It’s a vibrant city where history and the present day are fused to offer visitors art, culture and exquisite cuisine.

Ali Gayward, easyJet’s UK Country Manager said:

“We’re delighted to add more new routes to our UK network for the summer and to provide our customers with an even wider range of fantastic destinations to enjoy. We are proud to be the largest airline in the UK and remain dedicated to offering low fares and convenient connections and we can’t wait to welcome more customers back on board.”

Tom Screen, Aviation Director of Birmingham Airport said:

“It is great news that today easyJet will be offering flights to Nantes direct from Birmingham Airport.  This route, currently unserved from the airport, will ensure that both business and leisure customers will have the opportunity to visit this French city. 

“This new route complements the existing Belfast, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Geneva, Palma, Faro, Malaga and Amsterdam routes on offer from Birmingham with easyJet and we are delighted that the airline is offering more choice to our customers and reinforcing its commitment to the Midlands region.”

easyJet serves 19 UK airports, offering over 411 routes to over 124 destinations from the UK to Europe, the Middle East and North Africa.
