Low-cost airline Easyjet plans to launch two new routes to Pristina. Starting October 28, 2024, Easyjet will offer a twice-weekly connection from Amsterdam, followed by two weekly flights from Milan Malpensa from December 7, 2024.
The route from the Netherlands will have no direct competition, while Easyjet will compete with Wizz Air on the route from Milan Malpensa, although they will fly on different days. These extensions complement Easyjet's existing flights from Basel, Berlin and Geneva on a total of five routes. Tickets for the new flights are already available through the airline's website.
Easyjet will also increase frequencies between Geneva and Pristina in the coming winter season. Instead of nine weekly flights last winter, Easyjet will now offer twelve flights per week from the Swiss city. This puts Easyjet on a par with Wizz Air and becomes the largest low-cost airline with Pristina connections. In 2022, Easyjet was the busiest airline in Pristina, but was overtaken by Wizz Air last year. Nevertheless, Easyjet remains a major player in the market. In 2023, Easyjet carried 438.692 passengers, an increase of 6,6% year-on-year.
The airline stressed to EX-YU Aviation News its constant focus on growth and profitability, with a particular emphasis on strengthening its presence in core markets. The decision to launch new routes is based on extensive market analysis and business cases. With the addition of sixty new routes to its system, including the two to Pristina, Easyjet continues its expansion course and consolidates its position in the aviation market.
