The north’s largest airline easyJet has added three new routes to its network for winter 2024, flying from Belfast International.

The collection features popular winter sun and city break destinations Fuerteventura in Spain, Marrakech in Morocco and Prague in the Czech Republic.

The winter route to Fuerteventura starts on October 28, operating on Mondays and Fridays, while a new year-round route to Prague takes off on November 2 and will operate twice a week on Tuesdays and Saturdays.



And flights to Marrakech will return for the first time since before the pandemic, operating throughout the winter on Wednesdays and Sundays from November 3.

The new flights are among 60 new routes now available to book, including 33 routes launching from 11 UK airports, offering customers more choice whether looking to book a winter getaway, hitting the slopes, browsing Europe’s best Christmas markets, planning a magical family holiday or chasing the winter sun.

Ali Gayward, easyJet’s UK country manager, said: “We’re delighted to be releasing an incredible range of new routes today for this winter, our largest release.

“The introduction of Marrakech, Prague and Fuerteventura will extend the choice and flexibility of routes now available from Belfast International and will no doubt appeal to travellers from right across the region.”
