easyJet has announced it will be opening its new three-aircraft Newcastle base early, meaning even more flights will now be available from Newcastle from 22 March 2026. 

The new three-aircraft base has enabled the airline to further expand its Newcastle network with 11 new routes. This means that in addition to 8 key domestic and international services the airline already operates from Newcastle, easyJet now offers customers flights on 19 routes across the UK, Europe and North Africa that will prove popular with leisure and business travellers flying from the North East.

easyJet customers from the North East, Southern Scotland, North Yorkshire and Cumbria now have much more choice when booking their 2026 holidays, with new routes taking off from 22 March 2026.

Brand new services are set to take off from next summer from Newcastle to Antalya and Dalaman in Turkey, Greek Islands Rhodes and Corfu, Algarve gateway Faro in Portugal as well as Malta, Prague, the Spanish city of Reus and an exclusive route connecting Newcastle to Nice, opening up the south of France for holidaymakers in northeast England.

In addition, direct connections to North Africa are also set to operate from Newcastle, with services to the popular Egyptian resort of Sharm-El-Sheikh and Enfidha in Tunisia.
