easyJet to re-open base at Southend Airport, with six new routes launching

easyJet have announced they will be re-opening a full base at London Southend Airport, with six new routes launching to popular destinations.

The airline is expanding its UK network by opening a three-aircraft base at Southend Airport in March 2025. The new base will enable the airline to launch six new routes to:

  • Pisa, Italy
  • Gran Canaria, Spain
  • Dalaman, Turkey
  • Antalya, Turkey
  • Marrakech, Morocco
  • Enfidha, Tunisia

The flights with easyJet holidays will be for departure dates from 1 May 2025, meaning package holidays from London Southend Airport will be available seven days a week.

The investment will create around 130 direct jobs for pilots and crew in the UK and support many more indirect jobs.

The airline already serves international routes from Southend Airport to popular beach and city destinations Amsterdam, Geneva, Faro, Palma de Mallorca, Malaga and Paris Charles de Gaulle and has flown over seven million customers from London Southend since operations began in 2012.
