easyJet planes arrive
14.05.08
Manchester Airport hosted its first orange easyJet branded planes yesterday, following the integration of GB Airways into the easyJet group. GB had operated routes from the airport, but its blue and white aircraft have been repainted in the distinctive orange and white colours of easyJet, with the flights now operated under the easyJet brand.
The budget airline did not operate from Manchester Airport before the takeover, but has recently announced an expansion from the airport. It will operate flights to holiday hotspots including Tenerife, Malaga, Malta and Paphos over the summer, and will launch a new flight from Manchester to Alicante later this year.
Carly Brear, easyJet's UK commercial manager, said: ‘It's symbolic to see the first aircraft in easyJet's signature orange colour at Manchester. We've received a warm welcome from the city and have already introduced a new route to Alicante, which will launch in the autumn. easyJet is committed to further expansion from Manchester and we look forward to opening up more new routes in the near future.’
