We're launching three new winter routes from Newcastle Airport
New routes are launching from Newcastle Airport later this year, for those seeking winter sun and adventure.
In a big boost for the airport, easyJet opened a new base in Newcastle in March, meaning more flights, routes and jobs.
Hailed as a major regional tourism coup by North East Mayor Kim McGuinness, the opening supports 1,200 jobs, including 140 direct jobs for pilots and cabin crew.
As well as bringing more tourists to the region, it means more choice for North East travellers.
Three additional routes have now been added from the base, with new easyJet routes from Newcastle to Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands, Krakow in Poland and Reykjavik in Iceland launching this winter.
Seats are now on sale at easyJet.com and via the mobile app with fares starting from £25.99.
It follows the initial announcement in March of new easyJet routes now available to Antalya, Corfu, Dalaman, Enfidha, Faro, Lisbon, Malta, Nice, Prague, Reus, Rhodes, Rome, Sharm-El-Sheikh, and Tenerife.
Flights from Newcastle to Fuerteventura will start on 25 October 2026 and operate twice weekly on Thursdays and Sundays.
Services to Krakow will begin on 26 October 2026, departing twice weekly on Mondays and Fridays, while flights to Reykjavik will launch on 27 October 2026, with a twice‑weekly service on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
Kevin Doyle, easyJet’s UK Country Manager, said:“Following the opening of our new base at Newcastle, we’re delighted to be adding three more routes, and several package holiday options, for our customers in the North East.
“These new services to Fuerteventura, Krakow and Reykjavik provide even greater choice, whether customers are looking for winter sun, a city break or a once‑in‑a‑lifetime adventure. Newcastle is a key part of our UK growth, and we’re proud to continue investing in connectivity from the region with great value fares and convenient flight options.”
Leon McQuaid, Director of Aviation Development at Newcastle Airport, said: “We’re delighted to see further investment at Newcastle Airport with easyJet’s new winter routes to Fuerteventura, Krakow and Reykjavik following the opening of their new base.
“These additional services further enhance our growing winter schedule and provide passengers with even more great value flight-only and package holiday options.
“This expansion reflects the strong demand for connectivity from the North East to key European destinations and we look forward to celebrating the launch of easyJet’s new routes.”
