Easyjet will take passengers to two more destinations from Edinburgh Airport this year.

The airline will operate flights to and from Seville and Jersey twice a week from March for the summer season.

The routes come into operation from March 26 until October 25 and March 31 to October 27 respectively.

It will increase the number of destinations from Edinburgh to 146.

Edinburgh Airport chief executive Gordon Dewar said: "The new year always brings fresh opportunities and adventures and we're delighted to be able to offer two new summer destinations to passengers in Seville and Jersey.

"We have a strong relationship with easyJet and the fact they are continuing to grow at Edinburgh is a sign of their commitment to Scotland's busiest airport and of the success we have had already and will continue to enjoy in 2018 and beyond."

Ali Gayward, easyJet's UK country manager, said: "We're really pleased to be adding even more routes to our Edinburgh network and to be putting flights on sale today, allowing our customers to book early and take advantage of our lowest fares for both leisure and business travel.

"EasyJet is the largest airline in Scotland and we have been committed to Edinburgh for over 22 years. We are proud to have carried more than over 41 million passengers in that time.

"We're committed to expansion at Edinburgh and the addition of new routes will help us to deliver long term, sustainable growth, providing passengers with a greater range of destinations, all with low fares and great service."
