Alteration in Air Routes: New EasyJet Flight Destination in Algarve
easyJet is set to bolster its presence in the Portuguese market in 2026 with the introduction of a new route between Faro and Newcastle. Commencing on March 29, 2026, this new connection will offer three weekly flights on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays[1][2].
This development is part of easyJet's broader expansion at Newcastle Airport, where the airline is establishing a new base in March 2026 and introducing 11 new routes across Europe, including Faro, Antalya, Nice, and Malta[3][4][5]. This strategic move positions Newcastle as a significant hub for easyJet’s operations and enhances connectivity for travellers in the North East of England to key European destinations such as the Algarve region in Portugal.
The new route between Faro and Newcastle aims to cater to both leisure and business travelers, providing an alternative for those seeking to travel between the UK and Portugal[2]. The flights have not been specified as first, business, or economy class, nor have they been designated as seasonal or year-round flights, direct or connecting flights, or flights with any particular amenities or services[6][7][8][9][10].
With the launch of this new route, easyJet reaffirms its commitment to the Portuguese market, offering more choices and convenience for passengers looking to explore the beautiful Algarve region or conduct business in the UK[1][2].
