Easyjet comes to Madeira
EASYJET will start regular flights to Madeira as of October 2007!
At last … as the Dutch would say ‘the bullet is through the church!’ … news that Easyjet will start their low cost operation with regular flights between London Stansted and Funchal as of the 27th of October 2007! This is good news for the regional tourist sector, in particular, and also for the madeirean, in general, that will be able to travel, in a first phase for the UK, at quite interesting prices.
Easyjet is one of the best known low cost airlines, with low base prices, and that has revolutionized the concept of the aerial trips in the whole world … a concept that has been followed by others.
EasyJet should make its premier flight to Madeira on October, 27th. It will start of with daily flights from London (Airport of Stansted) and another one, three times per week, from Bristol. A considerable flow of tourists will be expected towards our island. They also have the intentions to increase the European sector, investigating the possibilities to create more flights for Madeira from two other European cities next year. Also to enter in the domestic flights, as soon as the new legislation allows it, liberalization of the air traffic between airports of the mainland and the autonomous region. This last is expected to happen in the next autumn.
