Gatwick airline relations manager Jennifer Newman welcomed the new route, stating: “easyJet already connects passengers to an extensive range of destinations across Europe and with its rich history and dramatic landscapes, Brest is a wonderful addition to the network.”
The Brittany region offers visitors a distinctive French experience with a unique cultural identity.
The area shares notable similarities with Britain, reflected in both its name and character.
This distinctive blend of French and British influences makes Brest an intriguing destination for UK travellers seeking something different yet familiar.
Brest shines brightest during the summer months of June, July and August when the weather reaches its warmest.
easyJet said: “There are lots of festivals and events such as the Astropolis music festival and Les Jeudis du Port cultural fest in Brest.”
The airline has also recently announced six new routes from four UK airports for summer 2025.
From Manchester and Edinburgh, passengers will be able to fly to Milan Linate with services operating up to seven days a week throughout the year.
