“In the past 12 months, the UK’s biggest low-cost carrier has expanded its presence from the region in a significant way, with Amsterdam becoming the seventh destination it will serve, up from just one this time last year.

“This link into the Netherlands’ capital will not only provide our passengers with more travel options but also underscores our commitment to improving regional connectivity. Amsterdam is a major European hub, and we are confident that this service will be well-received by both our leisure and business passengers and adds even more choice for consumers in the region wanting to get to or from Amsterdam, along with providing further options for inbound tourism."

The latest announcement by easyJet follows on from its recent news that it will extend its popular Alicante service into the winter season, offering a year-round product to one of Europe’s most popular winter sun leisure spots.
