easyJet airlines will have more than 1.8 million seats on offer this summer at its Malaga base, giving passengers the option of flying to 15 different destinations from the Costa del Sol airport, including a new twice-weekly connection with Lyon in France starting on June 3.

The general manager of the carrier in southern Europe, Javier Gándara, highlighted this week in a statement that Malaga "has always been a great asset for easyJet in Spain".

In fact, all of the major airlines are betting on the Andalucía hotspot this year and between March 26 and October 28, the hub will see 99,400 scheduled flights with 17.8 million seats available – that’s an impressive 14.4% more than in pre-pandemic 2019, which was a record year.

The Costa del Sol is one of the most popular destinations in Spain, particularly with British tourists, so it’s no surprise that flights from Gatwick, Luton and Bristol to Malaga are some of the busiest routes each year.

Since easyJet began operating in Spain 27 years ago with its first flight between Barcelona and London-Luton in 1996, the airline has transported more than 220 million passengers. The carrier now connects Spain with 172 destinations in Europe and the United Kingdom from its three bases in Malaga, Palma de Mallorca and Barcelona.
