EasyJet expands its network at Southampton Airport with three new routes

A new route to Spanish hotspot Malaga will take off from 1 May and operate twice a week on Tuesdays and Saturdays, giving customers more options for their summer holiday on the popular Costa del Sol.

easyJet is also launching a new service from Southampton to La Rochelle in France, known for its rich maritime history, glowing white limestone architecture, and lively Atlantic atmosphere. The new route will start on 29 May and also operate on Tuesdays and Saturdays.  

The airline is also strengthening domestic connectivity across the UK with a new daily service between Edinburgh and Southampton which will start on 28 March.

easyJet holidays packages are available to book to Edinburgh and Malaga inclusive of flights and hotel, alongside 23kg luggage and transfers on beach breaks. 

easyJet’s network expansion demonstrates its continuing commitment to the south with 11 routes available for summer 2027 providing customers with more choice, connectivity and affordable fares.

Kevin Doyle, easyJet's UK Country Manager, said: "We're delighted to be launching three new routes from Southampton Airport for summer 2027, continuing to provide customers in the south with more choice and connectivity from their local airport."

"From new services to Malaga and La Rochelle, to strengthening domestic connectivity, we're continuing to grow our network and offer customers even more travel opportunities."

"Whether customers are planning a summer holiday, a city break for leisure or business, or visiting friends and family, there's never been a better time to book a flight with easyJet or package holiday with easyJet holidays."

Chris Tibbett, Executive Director, Commercial Aviation and Marketing, at Southampton Airport said:

"We welcome easyJet's investment in expanding its Southampton network from Summer 2027 with the introduction of three new routes to Edinburgh, La Rochelle and Malaga. This will see the UK's largest low-cost airline offer 11 routes from Southampton next summer, with the new additions joining existing summer services to Alicante, Barcelona, Belfast, Faro, Glasgow, Manchester, Paris Charles de Gaulle and Palma de Mallorca.

“The launch of a new daily service between Southampton and Edinburgh is particularly welcome, strengthening vital links between Scotland and England's south coast. The route will support tourism, trade, investment and the cruise sector, while providing customers with greater flexibility, convenience and affordable fares. We look forward to continuing our work with easyJet to strengthen its Southampton operation and ensure the success of these new routes.”
