easyJet announces new base at Dortmund
easyJet today announced that it is establishing Dortmund International Airport as its next European base. As part of the airline's expansion plans for Germany the airline will introduce eight routes, with three aircraft operating from Dortmund.
easyJet today confirmed six of the routes, and the remaining two will be announced shortly.
Europe's leading low cost airline will operate twice-daily services to Paris (Charles de Gaulle) and London Luton Airport, and daily services to Nice, Palma (Majorca), Alicante, and Rome (Ciampino). One-way fares will start at EUR 19 including all taxes and charges.
Flights will commence at the end of July 2004 and will be available for sale later today, here on www.easyJet.com.
Ray Webster, said:
"It was only a couple of months ago that we announced our intention to significantly enter the German market with a substantial base of operation at Berlin. Today's announcement further strengthens our position in Germany - particularly in the vast and wealthy industrial heartland of the Rhine/Ruhr valley with its massive catchment area.
"This is yet another step in the planned growth of easyJet and the fact that we can start eight new routes using three aircraft by opening up a single new airport underlines why we put so much emphasis on network density and the joining-the-dots element of our growth strategy."
