The airline says this will bring its total network from Newcastle to 31 destinations, quadrupling its presence since launching its base in March 2026.
Further northbound and European connectivity will also be added from London Luton and Birmingham, with services scheduled to begin in November. Most routes will operate twice weekly, targeting weekend and short break demand.
In addition, easyJet will launch its first international service from Cornwall Airport Newquay, with weekly flights to Geneva starting in January 2027. The seasonal route will run until late February and marks a new step in expanding regional UK connectivity.

easyJet UK Country Manager Kevin Doyle said the expansion reflects strong demand for affordable travel options across the country.
He added that the airline is “delighted to announce 13 new routes and thousands more package holidays” and added that the network growth would give customers “even more choice from their local airport, all with great value and fantastic service.”
The airline also highlighted its Book with Confidence promise, which guarantees that prices will not increase after booking and that it aims to maintain a full schedule across its network.
With thousands of additional seats now on sale, easyJet is positioning the new routes as part of a broader push to strengthen regional airports and meet growing demand for both leisure and winter travel across Europe.
