Bristol to Naples for easyJet + “robust forecast”

easyJet, the largest operator at Bristol Airport from where it currently serves 42 destinations, has confirmed the addition of a new route to Naples.  Bookings have opened and the flights will operate three times a week (Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday) starting 12 May 2012.

Naples, Italy’s third largest city, is very popular with visitors thanks to its lively atmosphere and close proximity to some famous landmarks.  Mount Vesuvius and Pompeii are both easily accessible from the city as well as the islands of Capri and Ischia.  The railway runs along the coast via Vesuvius to Amalfi which make Naples a good base for exploring.

In a separate announcement the airline says its commercial performance continues to be robust across the network, with particular strength on city routes used by business and short break leisure travellers.  As a result, the increase in total revenue per seat at constant currency for the second half of the year is expected to be towards the upper end of expectations at around 6% and for the full year 3%.  The airline's Board is predicting a healthy profit before tax for the year ending 30 September 2011 of between £240m and £250m.  The airline has also introduced an 'interesting' advertising campaign. www.easyJet.com/holidays
