EasyJet is set to reopen its Newcastle International Airport base in spring 2026, which will generate 130 jobs for engineers, crew, and pilots. This decision follows the closure of Newcastle and other bases due to the Covid pandemic in September 2020. Chief Executive Kenton Jarvis emphasized the importance of the UK market for the airline and expressed excitement about expanding operations to meet strong demand for flights and holidays. The reopening aims to enhance connectivity, provide additional low-cost travel options, and contribute positively to the local economy.
"The UK is an important market for easyJet, and we are excited to be opening yet another UK base, in Newcastle, driven by the demand for our flights and package holidays."
"This investment will not only offer greater connectivity with the launch of new routes, but it will also deliver hundreds of thousands of additional low-cost seats and package holidays for our passengers; a significant boost to the local economy by creating high-quality jobs and attract more inbound visitors to the region."
