EasyJet is expanding the range of destinations served from Bristol Airport with the introduction of a larger aircraft.
A new 180-seat Airbus A320 is being unveiled at the Bristol base today (Tuesday).
The A320 is a larger aircraft than the current 156-seat A319 and gives the budget airline the ability to fly longer distances.
This enables medium haul routes to be offered to destinations such as the Canary Islands, Crete, Cyprus and Turkey.
Flights to Cyprus are introduced from today (Wednesday) with Crete, Dalaman and Bodrum starting in July, bringing the network up to 42 routes.
