easyJet is continuing with its network boosts, with Manchester getting an extra aircraft for summer 2023.
The low-cost carrier will base an additional aircraft at a north of England airport, with it being the 21st aircraft to be based at Manchester. It will move in from May 2023, operating through the summer season. It brings the number of new-generation A320neo aircraft to six in Manchester.
The airline will also launch a new summer route between Manchester and Murcia in South-East Spain. It is scheduled to launch on 2 May 2023, with twice-weekly departures on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Seats go on sale via the usual easyJet distribution channels from 7th December.
Manchester remains a focus for the airline – with the large catchment area it serves. Across the last year, easyJet has added 16 new routes and now offers customers a total of 77 routes to choose from.

Ali Gayward, easyJet’s UK Country Manager, said:
“I am delighted to be announcing our plans for expansion at Manchester airport today. The addition of another aircraft will help us to deliver growth in Manchester and offer customers an even wider range of destinations, like our new summer route to Murcia in Spain, which will provide our customers in the North West with a direct connection to a region which offers a variety of rich culture and beautiful beaches in abundance, all with low fares and great customer service.
Manchester Airport Managing Director Chris Woodroofe said:
“We are pleased to see easyJet expanding its base here, having significantly increased the number of destinations it flies to from Manchester over the past year.
“It is also exciting to see the introduction of a Murcia service, which I am sure will be hugely popular with passengers this summer.”
