While easyJet closed its base in 2020, it will reopen in March 2026. When it does, the airline will introduce 11 routes, mostly to beach destinations. Six of them were previously served, while five are new to its network. They include Sharm El Sheikh, becoming easyJet’s longest route ever from Newcastle.

Until now, Qatar Airways has not had more than 3 daily Manchester flights. That changed in June 2025, with 24 weekly services (3 to 4 daily) for the first time. The Boeing 787 and Airbus A350 operate, with the 777 returning in October.

Air Canada will no longer operate Calgary-London-Heathrow-Delhi. Instead, it will reintroduce Toronto-Heathrow-Mumbai, having last served that route in winter 2023/2024. It’ll replace its planned non-stop Toronto-Mumbai flights.

On 9 June, easyJet took off from Liverpool Airport to Split, Croatia’s second most populous city. It is the UK airport’s second Croatian destination, after Zadar. Previously, the Merseyside airport had flights to Dubrovnik and Pula.
