Europe’s leading airline, easyJet, has announced it will launch a new route from London Southend to
Grenoble, for the first time.
On sale from today, this brand-new route to the capital of the French Alps adds further choice for customers this winter, whether they’re looking to hit the slopes at one of 20 ski resorts around Grenoble, or to enjoy a festive winter break among the snow-capped peaks and charming villages.
Flights to Grenoble will operate once a week from Sunday, January 14, 2024.
Grenoble becomes the eighth destination easyJet now serves from London Southend, alongside Paris, Amsterdam, Faro, Geneva, and three destinations in Spain.
This new addition to the schedule is the first time in the airport’s history in which a route to Grenoble will operate and comes following the airline announced the return of a year-round route to Alicante in Spain, the popular holiday hotspot on the Costa Blanca coast.
Seats are on sale now at easyJet.com and via the mobile app with fares from £24.99.* Ali Gayward, easyJet’s UK Country Manager, said:
“We are really pleased to be offering more choice and great value for our customers with the launch of another route from London Southend Airport, to Grenoble, which we know will be popular with those thinking about winter holidays – whether that’s for a winter sports break or to enjoy the picturesque scenery of the Alps and we can’t wait to welcome customers on board.”
John Upton, London Southend Airport CEO, said:
“The momentum for new and returning routes from London Southend is on the up. Ski breaks to the cultural capital of the French Alps is a great opportunity for London Southend and we are delighted to serve the demand in our 8.2m catchment from London east and the southeast of England connecting passengers that live within one hour of London Southend.
“
