A domestic flight is among the new routes
Three new routes are available from Southampton Airport from next summer, it has been announced.
A new route to Spanish hotspot Malaga will take off from 1 May and operate twice a week on Tuesdays and Saturdays, giving customers more options for their summer holiday on the popular Costa del Sol.
There will also be a new service from Southampton to La Rochelle in France, known for its rich maritime history, glowing white limestone architecture, and lively Atlantic atmosphere. The new route will start on 29 May and also operate on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
A third new route will see the airline also strengthening domestic connectivity across the UK with a new daily service between Edinburgh and Southampton which will start on 28 March.
Holiday packages are available to book to Edinburgh and Malaga inclusive of flights and hotel, alongside 23kg luggage and transfers on beach breaks.
The airline’s expansion demonstrates its continuing commitment to the south with 11 routes available for summer 2027 providing customers with more choice, connectivity and affordable fares.
Kevin Doyle, easyJet's UK Country Manager, said: "We're delighted to be launching three new routes from Southampton Airport for summer 2027, continuing to provide customers in the south with more choice and connectivity from their local airport."
