EasyJet opens Bordeaux Airport base
EasyJet has opened its 30th base, at France’s Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport in the south west of the country, underlining the importance of France, its largest market in Europe. The carrier began flying from London Luton to Bordeaux in 2006 and has carried 10m passengers to and from the airport since. It now has a market share of nearly 30% at the airport, EasyJet said. It will base 3 Airbus A320 aircraft there, as well as over 110 pilots and cabin crew, meaning it can offer over 400,000 extra seats this summer from its sixth base in France, the carrier said. The airline is also introducing 3 new city routes–Luxembourg, Tel Aviv, Israel and London Southend–and 5 new beach routes–Catania, Italy; Faro, Portugal; Heraklion and Rhodes Greece and Ibiza, Spain) as well as one domestic route to Bastia, Corsica. <br/>
