Matt Hazelwood, Chief Commercial Officer at AGS Airports, which owns Southampton Airport said: “The introduction of these two services to Faro and Alicante by easyJet is brilliant news for the airport, city and wider region.
“We embarked on our recently completed runway extension project to ensure the future viability of the airport. Attracting more routes and services to Southampton is key to the airport’s future success and I am pleased to see that our plans are beginning to bear fruit.
“These two services will deliver even greater choice and flexibility for our customers and are hopefully just the first of many to arrive at Southampton Airport.”
easyJet is also launching package holidays for the routes, starting at £425 per person.
Ali Gayward, easyJet's UK Country Manager, said: “We’re delighted to be launching two new routes from Southampton, providing our customers in the south of England even more choice when booking their summer holiday, and convenience with direct connectivity to Europe’s most popular beach destinations whether they’re planning a holiday to Spain’s sunny coast or Portugal’s Algarve region.”
