EasyJet expects to carry almost 60,000 passengers on the route in the first 12 months of operation.

“This announcement so soon after we commenced flying from Manchester is proof of the fantastic support we have had to date from the people of Manchester and surrounding areas.
“Alicante has proven to be a popular destination from other easyJet bases in the UK and now independent travellers from the North-West can take advantage of this new service from our Manchester base, to one of Spain’s most popular tourist destinations.â€
