From October 27, the airline will operate new flights to Paris, six days a week starting from £26.99 as well as a new weekly service to Lyon from January 4, 2025, with fares starting from £29.99. The new route to Lyon will provide more options for those planning a ski holiday, alongside easyJet’s existing route from Newcastle Airport to Geneva which will increase to three times weekly during the winter season.

easyJet will also offer more choice for passengers travelling to Amsterdam, with flights increasing to daily across the winter season. The airline’s latest investment comes in addition to year-round flights to Belfast and Bristol, up to five-weekly summer flights to Majorca and a twice-weekly service to Alicante in Spain.

Packages include flights, hotel, 23kg luggage and transfers on beach holidays, all covered by its Ultimate Flexibility, offering freedom to change a booking, a refund guarantee, and best price guarantee.

Leon McQuaid, director of aviation development at Newcastle Airport, said: “We are delighted to see further investment from easyJet and even more choice for the North East travelling public to explore and enjoy some of Europe’s most popular and beautiful destinations. Paris is an amazing city that is renowned for its iconic landmarks, museums and cuisine – plus the route will offer our passengers even easier access to Disneyland Paris.

"We know our customers love Amsterdam – the city offers everything from tranquil boat rides through its picturesque canals to a vibrant art scene and world-class museums. Lyon and Geneva both also offer fantastic winter city break options whilst providing additional connectivity to a host of popular resorts during the ski season."

Ali Gayward, UK country manager at easyJet, added: "We are delighted to be offering more flights from Newcastle Airport this winter with a new year-round route to Paris launching at the end of October as well as a winter route to Lyon which will provide more choice for customers in the North East to plan a ski holiday and we can’t wait to welcome more customers onboard this winter."

Newcastle Airport has recently invested over £20m in the passenger experience, redeveloping the security search area and refurbishing the majority of catering outlets in the departure lounge. The Airport’s executive lounge has also benefited from a multi-million pound redevelopment and is now marked as one of the ‘flagship’ Aspire Lounges in the country.

Flights are available to book at easyJet.com and via the airline’s mobile app, or with your local travel agent.

'Quite the Dramatic Takeoff': Flames Shoot From Plane's Engine Moments Into Flight
A plane bound for Melbourne was forced to make an emergency landing due to an engine fire shortly after taking off on June 17 from Queenstown, New Zealand.From his window seat, passenger Michael Hayward had a closeup view of the unsettling moment the plane’s right engine started shooting flames.Hayward told the ABC that there were cries of panic as passengers began to realize what was happening. However, people calmed quickly once the engine was turned off and “it became clear the pilots had things under control,” he said. Hayward praised the pilots’ effort for making a safe landing with only one engine.It “wasn’t as great as having two, but was better than none,” he said.Citing Virgin Australia chief operations officer Stuart Aggs, the ABC said a bird strike may have been the cause.Hayward was of the same opinion, telling Storyful it happened just seconds into the flight. “All you hear is ‘boom, boom, boom’,” he told the ABC. “Quite the dramatic takeoff.” Credit: Michael Hayward via Storyful
