easyJet adds yet more new services with Luxor flights joining the network
UK low-cost carrier easyJet has announced that yet more new routes will be added to the airline’s network for the forthcoming northern winter period. This latest announcement comes just a month after the company unveiled 36 new routes from its UK bases to start toward the end of 2024.
As a result of the two announcements combined, the airline is now offering 41 new routes for winter 2024/25 across Europe and North Africa. These include services to new destinations such as the City of Derry Airport (LDY) in Northern Ireland, Tromso in Norway (TOS), and Strasbourg (STR), France.
The carrier has revealed it will also resume flights to Luxor Airport (LXR) in Egypt after a hiatus of over 10 years. Flights to the Egyptian city will commence on November 11, 2024, from London-Gatwick Airport (LGW) with twice-weekly departures on Mondays and Thursdays. Known for its ancient temples and tombs, Luxor is home to famous monuments such as the Luxor Temple, the Valley of the Kings, and the tomb of Tutankhamun, one of Egypt’s most famous pharaohs.
Additionally, easyJet is also further expanding its services to Egypt with new winter services to Sharm El Sheik (SSH) from Liverpool Airport (LPL). The inaugural flight to Sharm El Sheik departs on February 14, 2025, and operates twice a week on Mondays and Fridays throughout the forthcoming winter season. winter.

As a result of these new Oslo services, Norway will be widely connected to the easyJet network during winter 2024/25 following the launch of new routes to Tromso in the north of the country from London Gatwick, Bristol (BRS), and Manchester in June 2024.
“We’re delighted to be launching even more new routes from airports across the UK to a fantastic range of leisure destinations, meaning we’re now offering over 41 new routes including three brand new destinations on our network from this winter,” said Ali Gayward, easyJet’s UK Country Manager.
“By continuing to strengthen our network we’re providing even more choice and connectivity for our customers all across the UK, whether they’re chasing the winter sun, planning a magical winter getaway or hitting the slopes and we look forward to welcoming them on board,” she added.
Accounting for these new services, easyJet will serve 21 UK airports, offering 584 routes to 136 destinations from the UK to Europe and beyond. The airline group (consisting of easyJet UK, easyJet Switzerland, and easyJet Europe) operates a fleet of 346 aircraft all from the Airbus A320 family of narrowbodies.
