EasyJet Grows Service From Seville, Eyes 'Profitable' Remedy Slots

SEVILLE, Spain—UK-headquartered LCC easyJet will launch four new destinations from Seville.

EasyJet Director General for Southern Europe Javier Gándara announced the network additions here at Routes Europe 2025. 

The carrier expects to start each of the four new routes from Seville—to Amsterdam, Milan Malpensa, Malaga, Spain, and Lyon, France—during the northern winter schedule on a twice-weekly basis, but is already receiving requests to increase those frequencies, Gándara said at the event.

In addition to pursuing new routes and markets, easyJet has been taking advantage of remedy slots that have become available as part of European Union consent for airline consolidation. In particular, easyJet has gained slots at two key Italian airports—Milan Linate and Rome Fiumicino—that Lufthansa and ITA Airways conceded as part of their merger deal.

If, as expected, TAP Air Portugal becomes the subject of another major merger or acquisition deal, that could provide more remedy slot opportunities. Gándara acknowledged easyJet would be interested in such slots, but also emphasized this would be only on the basis that they provide profitable routes.

“We will use all opportunities we can so long as it’s for a profitable growth. We won’t grow just for the sake of it,” he said.
