easyJet just keeps getting bigger and bigger!

easyJet, Europe’s number one low-cost airline, continues its Europe-wide search for airports to be part of its massive expansion plans.

easyJet has very strict criteria for its airport selection. We’re only looking for airports with connections to Europe’s most attractive cities and destinations. easyJet continues to grow at an extraordinary rate, as we look to bring low fares to as many people as possible.

Our criteria are the following:

  • Does your airport serve a large population of people within one hour, or serve an attractive destination?
  • Can your airport support rapid aircraft turnarounds?
  • Can your airport support services to other easyJet destinations?
  • Is low-cost part of your strategy?
  • Are you seeking to improve the efficiency of your business?

You are here because you answered yes to all of the above questions. Now we’ll need a lot more information from you before we can proceed.
