EasyJet cancels flights to Volos, Greece

As reported by The Sun, Easyjet has decided to cancel its route from Gatwick to Volos in Greece. But don’t worry, this doesn’t include currently scheduled flights to the Greek airport.

EasyJet will stop flying to Volos next summer, meaning all current flights are still set to fly. The airline will stop offering tickets to Volos beyond the summer of 2024. Volos Airport is the closest to the popular islands Skiathos and Skopelos, where Mamma Mia was famously filmed.

An easyJet spokesperson told the Mirror:

Following a review of the route, we can confirm that flights between London Gatwick and Volos in Greece won’t be going on sale beyond this summer.

Why has EasyJet cancelled this route?

EasyJet flights from Gatwick to Volos have been available since 2018 and during the high season, only two sets of flights were available to Greece’s 13th largest city.

According to the EasyJet spokesperson, the airline has decided to stop flights to Volos in order to focus on flights that are in higher demand and potentially create new routes for the same reason:

We concentrate our efforts on maintaining and developing routes which prove most popular with customers, focusing on offering routes with the greatest demand.

They added that EasyJet flights to Athens, Thessaloniki and Skiathos are still available. In total, the airline offers flights to 13 Greek destinations.

We continue to offer customers in in the UK 13 Greek destinations and provide more seats from the UK than any other airline to this popular Mediterranean region.
