easyJet (London Luton) has outlined its plans for its third Italian base - Venice Marco Polo - wherein four A319-100s will be based during the first quarter of next year.

At a press conference held on Tuesday, October 6 the head of easyJet (Italy), Frances Ouseley, said his airline would roll out new flights to Bordeaux Mérignac, Bristol International, Copenhagen Kastrup, Edinburgh, Mykonos, Thira Santorini, Menorca Mahón, Olbia, Prague Václav Havel and Stuttgart Manfred Rommel between February and March of next year. Existing destinations such as Naples Capodichino, Paris (Paris CDG and Paris Orly), London (London Stansted, London Southend, and London Gatwick) and Berlin Schönefeld will also see an increase in their respective frequencies.

CEO Carolyn McCall earlier this year said effective April 2016, the UK-based LCC would redeploy aircraft and crew at its current Rome Fiumicino base to supplement operations at its Milan Malpensa and Naples Capodichino bases in additon to opening a new base in Venice. Malpensa, already easyJet’s second largest base with eighteen aircraft, will receive three more aircraft while the number of aircraft based at Naples - three - will grow to four.
