easyJet launches new route from Bristol to Naples

easyJet, the largest operator at Bristol Airport, has today confirmed the addition of a new service from Bristol to Naples. The inaugural flight to Naples will take off on 12th May 2012, with seats going on sale from Thursday 22nd September. Flights will operate three times a week (Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday), with fares starting from £21.99 (one way, including taxes).

Naples, Italy’s third largest city, is popular with visitors thanks to its lively atmosphere and close proximity to some of Italy’s most famous landmarks. Mount Vesuvius and Pompeii are both easily accessible from the city as well as the islands of Capri and Ischia which make Naples a good base for exploring.

Ali Gayward, easyJet’s UK commercial manager said: “We’re delighted to announce our 43rd route from Bristol. This new route to Naples will provide passengers from the South West with affordable access to one of Europe’s most dynamic cities which offers visitors a rich culture and access to nearby attractions.

The continued expansion of our Bristol operation reflects easyJet’s commitment to providing all travellers in the region with the best choice of destinations at the lowest possible fares.”

Shaun Browne, Bristol Airports Aviation Director added: “A scheduled service to southern Italy is a welcome addition to easyJet’s summer programme from Bristol. Not only does it open up exciting holiday options for South West travellers, it also provides an opportunity for the region’s tourism industry to take advantage of growing interest from the Italian market.”

Travellers looking to book their flights, accommodation and transfers in one go can find a wide range of flexible and affordable breaks to all easyJet destinations flying from Bristol on the easyJet Holidays website (www.easyJet.com/holidays).
