easyJet launches new winter flights from Manchester Airport
Manchester to Grenoble flights will operate once a week on Sundays from December 10, 2023.
You can find out more about easyJet’s UK network and book your flights via the website.
The new service is among nine new routes easyJet has launched from nine airports across the UK, to destinations ranging across the UK, France, Morocco, Tunisia and Iceland.
The launch of even more new routes from the UK for next winter follows easyJet’s return to growth this summer in the UK which will also see easyJet operate its biggest ever UK summer flying programme.
What happens if you miss your flight due to airport delays?
It expects to fly around eight per cent more capacity than pre-pandemic and over one million more seats in peak summer and 23 new routes from the UK.
Ali Gayward, easyJet’s UK Country Manager said: “We are delighted to announce a new route from Manchester to Grenoble today, adding a further winter holiday option for our customers.
"Sitting at the heart of the Alps, it's known as a base for winter sports, but also offers hiking and outdoor activities and has a collection of museums to explore.
"We are confident it will be a popular addition to easyJet’s route network from Manchester.
“The addition of the new aircraft at Manchester will also create around 40 local job opportunities and is a symbol of our ongoing commitment to the airport.”
Chris Woodroofe, Managing Director at Manchester Airport, added: “Additional choice for passengers is always welcome and this new link to Grenoble will give more people the opportunity to reach one of Europe’s most popular skiing destinations directly from Manchester this winter.
“easyJet’s expansion of its base at Manchester and its investment in new aircraft show the strength of passenger demand for leisure travel.”
