London Gatwick: easyJet celebrates inaugural flight from the UK to Salerno’s Amalfi Coast airport

The new twice-weekly routes with departures from London Gatwick will continue to operate throughout the summer on Tuesdays and Saturdays. easyJet holidays are also offering a range of package holidays on the Amalfi coast this summer.

The new route to the former military-only airport which is now open for commercial flights for the first time becomes easyJet’s 157th destination on its expansive network, with flights also launching from Milan, Berlin, Basel and Geneva this summer.

All easyJet holidays include flights, hotel, 23kg luggage per person, and transfers on beach holidays secured with a deposit of just £60 per person.

All breaks are covered by Ultimate Flexibility, which includes a Best Price Guarantee meaning if customers find holidays cheaper elsewhere, a discount of the price difference will be applied to their booking
