easyJet holidays has today launched packages to 11 new destinations departing from Newcastle, now available to book for summer 2026. This expansion offers trade agent customers thousands more holiday options, following the announcement that easyJet will launch its newest base at Newcastle Airport.

Alongside the current eight routes the airline and tour operator offer, new destinations include Malta, Rhodes, Corfu, Faro, Reus, Tunisia, Sharm el Sheik, Dalaman and Antalya, with cities Prague and Nice. Agents can book holidays from today, for travel right the way up to and including October 2026.

Following recent regional base launches in Southend and Birmingham, easyJet holidays continues its commitment to expanding access to great-value package holidays for trade agent partners and their customers across the UK.

To celebrate the launch of a wide range of new packages now on sale, the trade distribution team is extending its popular ‘Big Orange Store Makeover’ campaign to travel agencies in and around the Newcastle area.

So far, 30 stores across the UK have begun their transformations, receiving exclusive easyJet holidays merchandise, bespoke window wraps, eye-catching marketing displays, and stylish in-store furnishings.

Travel agencies hoping to win the next makeover simply need to share three BIG reasons why they deserve it. Entries must be submitted here by 11:59pm on Monday, 1 July 2025.

Plus, this evening, over 70 agents will gather for the Newcastle TOOT event, where they’ll get an exclusive first look at easyJet holidays' latest collection of carefully selected four- and five-star hotels in brand-new beach and city destinations — with firsthand insights from key hotelier partners.

Natasha Marson, Head of Trade Distribution at easyJet holidays, said: “We’re thrilled to offer thousands of new package holidays to our valued trade customers in the North East, now available for our trusted travel agent partners to book.

“We truly appreciate the vital role our travel agents play in helping customers find their perfect getaway, especially as holidays remain a top priority for consumers, so we’re super excited to now be offering a wide selection of fantastic beach and city break destinations and travel dates extending through to October 2026.

“We’re committed to supporting our travel agent partners through various trade initiatives and look forward to strengthening these relationships and enhancing our collaborative success for the future. We can’t wait to see where our trade customers choose to travel to from Newcastle next summer.”
