easyJet has announced the launch of 26 new routes for summer 2025 including 21 from ten UK airports – including its first-ever flights and package holidays to the island of Sal in Cape Verde.

In Quotes
Ali Gayward, easyJet UK Country Manager, said:
“We’re proud to be releasing such an incredible range of new routes and package holidays today, providing more choice for customers to visit more of the places they love across Europe and to experience some incredible new destinations. This includes a milestone route for easyJet to beautiful Cape Verde, our first ever sub-Saharan service.
“Our continued growth and investment in the UK and the connectivity we offer our customers highlights the importance of the market for us, where this year we operated more flying than ever before.
“So with 21 new services now available from ten airports across the UK, our flights and holidays are available to even more new destinations next summer, providing customers with even more fantastic choice and great value.”
It’s going to be a busy summer
Whilst these launches today are not daily services, there is enough frequency in these routes to allow people to plan for both short and long breaks.
And it isn’t going to get any quieter, with the airline planning to serve 584 routes to 136 destinations from the UK to Europe and beyond.
What will be interesting as usual, is what makes the cut into the winter season, and what gets renewed for 2026.
