EasyJet is expanding its network from Nantes-Atlantique Airport with three new year-round destinations starting in late October 2026. The low-cost carrier will add Luxor in Egypt, Essaouira in Morocco, and Brussels in Belgium. Each route will operate with one to two weekly flights.
Brussels service begins on 26 October 2026, operating twice weekly. Essaouira flights take off starting 27 October 2026. Luxor joins the schedule around the same period, offering a direct link to Egypt’s historic landmarks. According to EasyJet France management, ticket sales for these new services are performing exceptionally well, with strong early demand particularly for the Luxor route.
The expansion enhances year-round travel options from western France. The new routes connect Nantes with European and African destinations. The services complement EasyJet’s existing network from the airport.
