BUDGET airline, EasyJet, has announced its plans to expand its operations at Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg in Switzerland following the withdrawal of Ryanair.
One additional EasyJet aircraft will be operating from the base in a move to attract customers after Ryanair announced they would cease to operate there from December 2 due to a dispute over rising airport costs.
The brand new EasyJet Airbus 319 aircraft will operate from June 25 next year and will carry an additional 250,000 passengers a year.
The investment creates 35 jobs for pilots and cabin crew at EasyJet and provides some 250 jobs in the region.
Passengers who are affected by the withdrawal of Ryanair can fly with EasyJet at a discounted rate of 30 CHF (20 EUR) for a return flight.
The offer is valid for EasyJet flights booked at www.easyJet.com between November 11 and November 15, with travel dates between November 25 and the December 16. The offer is available from Basel to London Gatwick, Nice, Alicante and Porto and can be redeemed using the promotional code 'BSLPROMO'.
