EasyJet has officially reopened its base in Alicante for the summer season, which runs from March to October. The airline has announced a total of one point seven million available seats, marking an eleven percent increase compared to the same period in twenty twenty-four. The company’s strategy of sustained growth at Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport is also reflected in its expanded route network.

This summer, EasyJet has added two new routes, including a connection to Athens, which has already seen its first flight take off, and has extended its existing route to Nápoles from the winter season to the summer. Overall, EasyJet will offer flights to twenty three destinations from Alicante this season.

The reopening of the Alicante base is part of a wider strategy that includes the reopening of bases in Palma and Málaga. With nearly seven million seats scheduled across these three seasonal bases, and considering other domestic routes, EasyJet has increased its total capacity in Spain for the summer to over fourteen point five million seats, representing a seven percent increase compared to summer twenty twenty-four.

Javier Gándara, General Manager of EasyJet in Southern Europe, remarked that Alicante has always been an important market for EasyJet in Spain. He expressed pride in starting a new summer season with routes to exciting new destinations and a capacity increase of eleven percent, providing affordable and comfortable connections for both leisure and business travellers, and solidifying Alicante’s status as a key destination in Europe.
