The world is opening up for holiday-makers flying from Stansted Airport as new destinations have been revealed.
On Sunday, Ryanair launched the first of its three-times-weekly service to Newquay, and Widerøe started a twice-weekly service to Bergen in Norway.
Meanwhile, Jet2 is set to debut two new city break destinations with flights bound for Athens and Rome on Thursday.
Several other new routes will also begin in the coming weeks, including flights from Ryanair to Belfast, Edinburgh, Asturias, Klagenfurt, and Leipzig.
Additionally, Emirates will start operating a second daily flight to Dubai from May 1.
Neringa Ohrstrom, head of brand and marketing at Stansted, said: "London Stansted was the fastest recovering major airport in the UK in 2022 serving over 23 million passengers, and with more new routes joining the departure boards, we’re set for a very busy and exciting summer.
"The weekend marked the start of the summer season for the industry, and we were delighted to launch two brand new routes to Newquay and Bergen.
“Rome and Athens flights will begin this week with Jet2, and there are several other new routes coming up, including Belfast, Edinburgh, Asturias, Klagenfurt, and Leipzig flights operated by Ryanair.
“While Stansted is leading airport in the UK for connections to Europe, it’s also really exciting to be expanding our long-haul network even further with a second daily flight to Dubai in May.”
Stansted Airport facilitates short-haul travel to 180 European destinations and serves more scheduled connections to the continent than any other UK airport.
