Easyjet is to introduce two new routes from Bristol to the Icelandic capital Reykjavik and the Moroccan city of Marrakech.
Both new services from Bristol will start in December using a 156-seat Airbus A319 with two frequencies per week to both destinations.
Easyjet’s commercial manager Ali Gayward said the airline expected to carry more than 55,000 passengers on the two routes within the first 12 months of operation.
The no-frills carrier is the largest operator at Bristol with up to 11 aircraft based at the airport and routes to 46 destinations.
Reykjavik flights start on December 12 with services on Thursday and Sunday. Marrakech begins as a route on December 14 with flights on Tuesday and Saturday.
Bristol’s CEO Robert Sinclair added: “Today’s announcement adds two more exciting destinations to Easyjet’s extensive route network from Bristol, which is the largest available at any UK airport outside London.
“It also brings two new countries within easy reach from Bristol airport, taking the total number of nations served by direct flights to 32.”
