EasyJet has announced that it will operate two new routes from Liverpool John Lennon Airport to the Turkish resort of Bodrum and the Greek island of Rhodes this summer.

The addition of the services follows news that easyJet is basing its tenth plane at the airport, and it comes alongside wider expansion which will see 21 new routes added to its network.

Many of the additions are Mediterranean routes, with new Bristol links to Bodrum, Dalaman and Heraklion, plus new London Stansted flights to Bodrum, Dalaman, Dubrovnik and Split.

Commenting on the new connections from Liverpool Airport, easyJet spokesman Trevor Spinks said: “Don’t let the post-Christmas blues get you down – start planning your escape to the sun now.

“The new easyJet routes to Bodrum and Rhodes will give the people of the north-west the opportunity to explore these beautiful and historic destinations, at our famously low fares next summer.”

Flights to Bodrum and Rhodes commence on June 11 and June 12 respectively, with fares starting from £26.99 one-way. Tickets for both routes are on sale now at easyJet.com.
