Charter airlines face fresh budget airline competition on key summer sun routes from Gatwick this summer
EasyJet is to start low cost flights to Antalya in Turkey, and the Greek islands of Crete, Kos and Zakynthos from May with fares starting at £41.99 one way.
Antalya and Chania will be served three times a week, with four flights a week schedule for Kos and Zakynthos
The services will be operated by new Airbus 320 aircraft due to arrive at the airline’s biggest base this spring.
This will take the total number of Gatwick-based aircraft to 41 and increasing the network to 83 routes
These four routes are in addition to three previously announced new services to Dusseldorf, Hamburg and Bordeaux due to start next month.
Seats go on sale at www.easyjet.com later today.
