easyJet announces year-round flights to Geneva from Newcastle International Airport

easyJet, Newcastle’s largest airline, has today announced that it will operate year-round flights from Newcastle to Geneva.

The new year-round service means that passengers can now experience all that Geneva has to offer, rather than being restricted to Winter skiing resorts.

The extension will also mean that easyJet will provide Newcastle’s only direct scheduled service to Geneva during the summer months.

More than 17,000 seats will be available on the route at www.easyjet.com from1 June to 6 September 2015 alone.

easyJet’s UK Commercial Manager, Ali Gayward, said: “We’re delighted to be extending our Geneva route to a year-round service from today.

“We’ve been flying to Geneva from Newcastle since December 2004, and have seen a huge demand from our passengers wanting to travel there throughout the year as Geneva is an increasingly popular city break destination.

“As a result of this feedback, skiers, and city breakers alike will now be able to book flights to Geneva 12 months of the year from just £19.99.”

Aviation Development Director at Newcastle International Airport, Chris Sanders, said: “We’re delighted to be working with easyJet to launch this new year-round service to Geneva.

“We’re sure the destination will be popular with both the business and leisure market.

“Keen hikers and holiday makers will relish the chance to explore Switzerland’s fabulous mountains during the summer.

“Geneva is a fantastic city break destination but also acts as a gateway to the whole of Switzerland.

“Travel around Switzerland by train is very easy, especially with a Swiss Rail Pass, so this route will help North East travellers explore new sights and experiences.

“We also expect to see some inbound traffic seeking to enjoy all the North East has to offer.”
