Budget airline Easyjet says it will launch six routes from its new base at Madrid early next year.Four of the routes will cover international destinations, namely Lyon and Toulouse in France along with the Italian capital of Rome and the Moroccan business city of Casablanca.
Easyjet says it will also begin flying on two domestic routes from Madrid, to Oviedo and La Coruna.The carrier is bringing much needed competition to the Spanish market where international services on such routes tend to be controlled by the countries' respective national airlines.
Exact starting dates and prices for the new routes have yet to be announced.Existing Easyjet routes from Madrid comprise several UK destinations along with Basle, Berlin Schonefeld, Geneva, Milan Malpensa and Paris Orly.
