The airline is set to fly thousands of Eurovision fans from across Europe travelling for the event which takes place this May
easyJet has been announced as the Official Airline Partner of the Eurovision Song Contest in a multi-year partnership, bringing Europe together to celebrate the world’s largest live music event.
easyJet will fly thousands of visitors from across Europe travelling for this year’s contest into Copenhagen airport, which provides quick, direct access to the host city of Malmö, Sweden, where the live semi-final and final events will take place on 7th, 9th and 11th May. The airline will operate over 10% more seats to and from Copenhagen compared to the same period last year.
