It seems easyJet has partnered with the Eurovision Song Contest to become its official airline.
So they could be flying the flag, for you.
The organisations have signed a multi-year partnership, bringing Europe together to celebrate the world’s largest live music event.
easyJet will fly thousands of visitors from across Europe travelling for this year’s contest into Copenhagen airport, which provides quick, direct access to the host city of Malmö, Sweden, where the live semi-final and final events will take place on the 7th, 9th and 11th May.
The airline will operate over 10% more seats to and from Copenhagen compared to the same period last year to support the Grand Final build-up. Good for those who are carrying hand luggage, or want to enjoy the Eurphoia.
In Quotes… Lasha Tumbai.
Gabriella Neudecker, Marketing Director, easyJet said:
“We couldn’t be prouder to be the Official Airline Partner for the Eurovision Song Contest for the coming years. Travel offers you that rare opportunity to break away from the everyday and to feel totally in the moment, just as the iconic Eurovision Song Contest does. People, countries and communities are brought together, anything is possible and everyone is welcome. At easyJet we share all of these important values and are proud to play our part in connecting people across Europe, which we believe makes this partnership the perfect match.”
Martin Österdahl, Executive Supervisor, Eurovision Song Contest said:
“We’re thrilled to welcome easyJet as the Official Airline Partner for the Eurovision Song Contest. We both share a passion for connecting people and cultures, and look forward to taking off together as we unite the joy of music and the freedom of travel.”
You’re good to go
In the weeks up to the Grand Final, a lot of people move around to celebrate the music festival – be it in the national finals and of course, the Grand Final, which can consume a city quickly.
With people all over Europe (and beyond) travelling for the event (be it in the crowds or in the stadia where the finals are held), reliable travel becomes important (be it by train or air), given that a lot of the Eurovision fanbase won’t be local to the host city.
