Brums on seats! easyJet celebrates flying ten million passengers to and from Birmingham Airport

To mark the occasion, easyJet surprised two lucky travellers at Birmingham Airport, Cathy Stacey and Fouad Wardi who were flying to Marrakesh, with a pair of return flights to anywhere on easyJet’s network.

easyJet began operations at Birmingham Airport in 2007, flying its first customers from Birmingham to Geneva and in 2024 easyJet launched a base at Birmingham Airport, supporting jobs, creativity and choice for customers in the midlands.

Since then the airline’s presence in the region has gone from strength to strength, having tripled the number of destinations on its network, now offering 45 routes across Europe and North Africa, and operate its largest ever operation this summer.

This summer, the airline has also welcomed a sixth aircraft to the base, enabling the airline to offer customers in the Midlands even more choice for flights and holidays across Europe and North Africa, including a new route and package holidays to Copenhagen in Denmark this winter, with great value fares starting from £31.99*

easyJet holidays began offering package holidays from Birmingham Airport when easyJet launched its base in March 2024. Now, the tour operator offers thousands of package holidays from Birmingham to destinations across Europe and North Africa.

Kevin Doyle, easyJet's UK Country Manager, said:

“This is a fantastic milestone for easyJet as we celebrate carrying over ten million passengers from Birmingham Airport, where we continue going from strength to strength. We have more than tripled the size of our network at Birmingham in the past two years and doubled the number of aircraft we base at the airport, supporting jobs and connectivity for the region,

“We focused on offering great value fares and more choice for our customers in the Midlands, and we can’t wait to welcome even more passengers onboard for what will be our biggest ever summer in Birmingham.”

Matt Hazelwood, Chief Commercial Officer of Birmingham Airport, said:

“We’re delighted to celebrate easyJet’s 10 millionth passenger at Birmingham Airport. Since launching services here in 2007, easyJet has steadily grown its operation and is now one of our major airline partners. We look forward to welcoming even more easyJet customers in the years ahead.”
