Enhanced Connectivity at Essex Airport
Essex Airport is set to see a significant increase in its European destinations this fall, with two popular airlines launching five new routes. British Airways and Ryanair are expanding their networks to offer travelers more options for exploring various European cities.
British Airways, which returned to Stansted Airport earlier this year, has kicked off its new route to Split, Croatia. The airline is providing affordable fares and convenient flight times for passengers looking to visit Croatia’s second largest city. The first flights to Split took off on a Saturday, marking the beginning of a new chapter in the airport’s connectivity.
Ryanair, the largest airline operating out of Stansted, is not far behind in expanding its network. The airline is introducing flights to Reggio and Linz in October, followed by Dubrovnik and Sarajevo in November. These additions will enhance the airport’s offerings and provide travelers with more opportunities to explore diverse destinations across Europe.
British Airways’ New Route to Split
British Airways is operating weekly flights to Split every Saturday, offering a seamless travel experience for passengers. The flights depart from Stansted at 12.55pm and arrive in Split at 4.20pm. The return journey leaves Split at 5.05pm and lands back at Stansted at 6.45pm. This new route provides travelers with a convenient option to visit the picturesque city of Split in Croatia.
Ryanair’s Expansion to Linz, Reggio, Dubrovnik, and Sarajevo
Ryanair is expanding its network from Stansted by introducing several new routes to European cities. The airline will operate a twice-weekly service to Linz, Austria, starting in October. Linz, although the country’s third largest city, currently does not have direct flights from the UK. This new route will enhance connectivity between the two countries and provide travelers with more options for exploring Austria.
In addition to Linz, Ryanair will also offer flights to Reggio in southwestern Italy from October. The airline’s services to Dubrovnik in Croatia will commence in November, with flights operating twice weekly on Wednesdays and Sundays. Furthermore, Ryanair will launch flights to Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, on Mondays, Fridays, and Sundays from November. These new routes will open up exciting travel opportunities for passengers looking to visit these diverse European destinations.
Stansted’s Extensive European Route Network
Stansted Airport is already well-known for its extensive European route network, with over 190 destinations across Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. The addition of new routes by British Airways and Ryanair further enhances the airport’s connectivity and provides travelers with a wide range of options for their next getaway.
Neringa Ohrstrom, head of brand and marketing at Stansted, expressed excitement about the new services being introduced this winter. She emphasized the importance of offering customers a diverse range of destinations to choose from, catering to various travel preferences. Whether travelers are seeking a city break, a winter sun getaway, or a cultural experience, Stansted Airport aims to provide options that meet their needs.
In conclusion, the expansion of European destinations from Essex Airport this fall is a positive development for travelers seeking new and exciting places to explore. With British Airways and Ryanair introducing new routes to popular cities such as Split, Dubrovnik, and Sarajevo, passengers will have more options for their next adventure. Stansted Airport’s diverse European route network continues to grow, offering travelers a wide range of destinations to choose from for their upcoming travels.
