EasyJet to base 3 A320s at Nantes
EasyJet said it would open its seventh base in France, at Nantes Atlantique Airport in the west of the country, basing 3 Airbus A320 aircraft there from spring 2019. The carrier said the opening of the Nantes base would bring EasyJet’s total capacity in France to more than 22m seats, including 1.8m in Nantes, representing an extra 400,00 seats locally as well as 100 newly created direct jobs with local contracts, mainly for cabin crew and pilots. The new base will allow it to offer more destinations and greater frequencies on existing ones while it expects to account for a quarter of the airport’s total traffic in 2019. EasyJet, which has flown to and from Nantes since 2008, has been growing rapidly in France in recent years and has previously said it plans further expansion at French regional airports. France is its second-biggest market after the UK. <br/>
