Europe’s leading airline easyJet has announced it has extended its existing summer route from Menorca to London Gatwick to operate throughout the winter meaning the Balearic Island will now be served year-round.

The extension of the route to Menorca will provide an additional 16,000 seats throughout the winter with flights set to launch on 6 November 2024, operating twice weekly on Wednesdays and Saturdays, providing a boost to Menorca’s international connectivity during the winter season as well as serving demand for connectivity to the Island.

The president of the Consell Insular de Menorca, Adolfo Vilafranca, the island's director of Tourism Promotion, Begoña Mercadal, and the General Director of easyJet in Southern Europe, Javier Gándara, presented the agreement at a press conference today in Menorca, representing a further step forward in one of the main objectives of the Consell Insular's government team, to ensure the year-round connectivity of the island.

The Consell and the Foundation continue to enhance air connections to promote tourism on the island all year round and provide customers with key connectivity outside of the summer season.

Since launching operations in the Balearic Islands more than 25 years ago, easyJet has carried nearly 45 million passengers and has grown to connects the islands to Europe and the UK on 64 routes. easyJet began operations in Menorca in 2005 with flights from London Gatwick and has carried 3.6 million passengers to date.

Flights from London Gatwick to Menorca for this winter are now available to book from just £38.99* on easyJet.com and via the mobile app. For more information on easyJet’s network from the UK and to book visit easyJet.com.
