Easyjet to new Property Investment Locations

Hot on the tail of my previous post, discussing the benefits for property investors of airlines introducing new flight destinations, EasyJet has announced that it will be flying to 32 more destinations by summer 2008.

The move comes as a result of EasyJet’s purchase of Gatwick-based GB airways, a British Airways franchise, in October 2006. Although the finer details are still being finalised, and GB airways will still be operating the routes until 29 March, tickets for summer flights to many of the 32 new destinations are now on sale.

This is great news for property investors, as it means there will be increased opportunities for people to easily, and affordably, travel to more countries worldwide. What’s more, many of the new flight destinations are in key holiday zones, which means there may be more rental opportunities for existing holiday home owners.

“This is very exciting for people who are looking to, or have purchased property, in one or more of the 32 new destinations that EasyJet has announced. Whether they are holiday homes or investment property, there are gains to be had from the increased flights,” Steve Worboys, director of Experience International said.

EasyJet will now be offering a choice of 66 routes from Gatwick and six from Manchester. The new Gatwick routes include:

Ajaccio (Corsica)
Bastia (Corsica)
Corfu
Crete (Heraklion)
Cyprus (Paphos)
Dalaman
Gibraltar
Gran Canaria (Las Palmas)
Hurghada
Lanzarote (Arrecife)
Madeira (Funchal)
Majorca (Palma)

And the new Manchester routes are:
