Liverpool John Lennon Airport’s largest airline easyJet launches new winter sun destination starting in October 2025. Tony McDonough reports
Low-cost airline easyJet has announced a new winter sun route from Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LJLA).
Starting on Monday, October 27, easyJet will begin twice weekly return flights to the Canary Islands. This will operate on Mondays and Fridays throughout the winter, with one-way fares from £35.
With more than 25 routes, easyJet is LJLA’s biggest airline. In November easyJet said it will increase the number of its aircraft at Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LJLA) from seven to eight from summer 2025. This latest investment will support an extra 400 jobs.
In January LBN reported the airline was on track to report full-year pre-tax profits, for the 12 months to September 30, 2025, of £709m. This would be almost £100m higher than the £610m reported last year.
This new route to Gran Canaria offers access to a sun-soaked destination that also has something for the more adventurous. People can venture up one of Gran Canaria’s many volcanoes to take in the views and experience the island’s canyons, cliffs and calderas.
Paul Winfield, aviation director for LJLA, said: “This new service will now enable more passengers from across the North West to travel to Gran Canaria from Liverpool compared to the current imbalance in the region.
“We look forward to welcoming lots of passengers choosing to fly on holiday in search of some Winter sun from Liverpool with easyJet.”
