Austrian service takes off
Tue, 08 Jan, 2008
Budget airline easyJet today began operating a new route between Liverpool Airport and the Austrian city of Innsbruck.
The three times a week service will fly on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, with seats available from £24.99 one way, including taxes.
David Osborne, the airline's UK general manager, said the new service, which he expects to prove popular with winter sports enthusiasts, was part of easyJet's commitment to increasing the choice available to passengers travelling from the country's regional airports.
He said: "easyJet has seen a huge increase in flights to ski and summer destinations this year, reinforcing easyJet's position as the favourite airline for independent travellers."
Meanwhile, easyJet has announced it sold 38,234,700 seats on its flights during 2007, which represents an increase of 13.5 per cent from its 2006 sales figures.
However, it has also revealed the proportion of unsold seats on its routes rose by 1.1 per cent to 16.5 per cent of full capacity.
