The airline Easyjet will have its presence on Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) with the deployment of two new Airbus A321neo-aircraft. This measure, which will take effect with the 2025/2026 winter schedule, aims to provide more capacity, particularly for flights to popular sunny destinations. The first A321neo is scheduled to enter service on October 26, with the second following on January 1, 2026.
The A321neo models, known for their increased capacity and cost-effectiveness, enable easyJet to expand its offerings on busy routes. Stephan Erler, Country Manager of easyJet, emphasized that these modern aircraft "not only offer greater seating capacity, but are also significantly more fuel-efficient and noise-efficient." This allows the airline to reduce its operating costs despite local location costs while offering customers greater comfort and a wider choice of destinations. In total, more than 36.000 additional seats will be available in the upcoming winter schedule.
EasyJet plans to use the new aircraft more intensively for winter sun destinations such as Lanzarote, Tenerife, Las Palmas, Málaga, Palma de Mallorca, Funchal, Agadir, and Marsa Alam. In addition to holiday routes, the new aircraft will also be used for connections to major cities such as Geneva, Zurich, London Gatwick, Rome, and Paris Charles de Gaulle. A further expansion of the route network from Berlin is the new connection to London Southend, which will operate twice a week, Mondays and Fridays, from November 7. This brings EasyJet's service from Berlin to a total of three airports in London. Aletta von Massenbach, CEO of Berlin Brandenburg Airport, welcomed the new connection as a positive signal for the expansion of the route network.
EasyJet is also expanding its services at its Munich base. The upcoming winter flight schedule will include a new connection to Bristol, which will operate on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays starting October 26. This brings the total number of destinations offered from Munich to seven in the 2025/2026 winter flight schedule. This strategic fleet expansion and route network consolidation by EasyJet underscores the importance of the German airports of Berlin and Munich in the airline's European air transport network.
