The newly announced flights are also available as part of package holiday deals, which can be booked from now for travel up until October 2026. Holidaymakers will be able to stay for at the three-star Best Mediterraneo in Reus for £513 per person including transfers and flights from Newcastle International on September 26 2026.

Additionally, travellers can book a four-star stay at Ariston and Ariston Patio Hotel in Prague on a bed and breakfast basis for £324 per person including flights from Newcastle International on September 24 2026.

The opening of the base with the addition of three aircraft at the airport has enabled the airline to more than double the number of destinations now on its network, providing more choice for customers in the North East, Southern Scotland, North Yorkshire and Cumbria.

Leon McQuaid, Newcastle Airport Director of Aviation Development, said: “It’s fantastic that easyJet and easyJet holidays are offering 11 additional destinations with packages now on sale, including a brand-new direct route to Nice, which is one of our most requested destinations.

“These services offer even more choice for our customers seeking low-cost flights and package holidays, and it’s great to announce the destinations ahead of easyJet opening its new base at Newcastle Airport in spring 2026.”

Ali Gayward, easyJet’s country manager, added: “We are really pleased to be able to announce this fantastic range of new routes from our new base at Newcastle for next summer.

“Our investment in an 11th base in the UK at Newcastle, supporting many jobs for the local economy, is enabling us to provide more direct connectivity, choice and great value for money for our customers in the North East, and we can’t wait to welcome them on board.”
