easyJet adds Cologne/Bonn to network with flights from Liverpool and London Gatwick!!

easyJet today announces another new destination to its network, with daily services from London Gatwick and Liverpool John Lennon Airport to Cologne/Bonn Airport. These two additional services bring its total network to 148 routes.

From June 2004 millions of passengers will be able to benefit from easyJet’s low fares to Cologne/Bonn Airport in the vast and wealthy Rhine/Ruhr catchment area. Flights to Liverpool begin on 22 June and to London Gatwick on 27 September 2004.

The addition of Cologne/Bonn to the easyJet network follows the announcement of six routes from Dortmund, earlier this month.

From today, easyJet is currently selling seats on 23 services to/from German cities.

Ray Webster, easyJet Chief Executive, said:

“This is yet another step in the planned growth of easyJet. There are many great opportunities for easyJet growth in Germany at present. In November we announced our first German base in Berlin, and only two weeks ago, we confirmed Dortmund would be our second. Germany with its large catchments and both inbound/outbound demand obviously represents a very attractive market for airlines capable of providing sustainable low fares.”
