In what's a Halloween treat for some, there's a boost for passengers at Bristol Airport - with twice weekly services operating to Marrakech.

It's among nine new routes launched today from airports across the UK - and takes off from the 31st of October.

'Europe's leading airline', which operates 69 routes from Bristol Airport on 17 based aircraft, say the new destination 'adds even greater choice for customers from across the South West looking for a fair weather getaway'.

The launch of even more new routes from the UK for next winter follows easyJet’s return to growth this summer in the UK which will also see easyJet operate its biggest ever UK summer flying programme, flying around eight per cent more capacity than pre-pandemic and over one million more seats in peak summer and 23 new routes from the UK.

Ali Gayward, easyJet's UK Country Manager, said: “We are delighted to be announcing our new route and package holidays from Bristol to Marrakech today, which will provide customers across the south west with even more choice when planning their holidays and with flights now on sale, customers can book early to get the best fares.

“easyJet is proud to be the largest airline at Bristol and the launch of this new route demonstrates our confidence in the resilient strength of demand for travel in the UK, with customers choosing us for our trusted brand, unrivalled network and great value fares and we can’t wait to welcome more customers on board.”

Rupert Lawrie, Commercial Director, Bristol Airport said: “We are delighted easyJet is adding another exciting destination of Marrakech to the Bristol Airport network, this additional route compliments the successful easyJet flight programme already available to customers.

“The route further extends the choice and flexibility of flights available from Bristol Airport and will no doubt appeal to travellers throughout the South West and Wales region wishing to use their local Airport. We look forward to working with easyJet on further new route opportunities in the coming months.”

The news comes not long after the Court of Appeal ruled against campaigners who were fighting to stop the expansion of Bristol Airport, which you can read more about here: Court of Appeal throws out attempt to stop Bristol Airport expansion
