Ali Gayward, easyJet's UK Commercial Manager, said:- "We're delighted to be adding Zakynthos to easyJet's range of destinations from Liverpool. It's really exciting to be here to see our first flight depart today and highlights our commitment to providing affordable routes to summer destinations from Liverpool but will also benefit inbound tourism to the City. Our Greek routes are proving extremely popular for those who wish to get some easy and affordable summer sun, and we're sure that our new route and 30th destination from Liverpool will be a success."
Mark Povall, Director of Air service Development, Liverpool John Lennon Airport, commented:- "Zakynthos is a great summer holiday destination and this new service now gives passengers from across the region the added convenience of being able to fly direct from their local airport. This new service will see increased numbers of passengers travelling from Liverpool in 2015 and a further growth in easyJet operations here."
