Does EasyJet still fly from Stansted?

easyJet now offers six services from Stansted Airport, with other flights to Amsterdam, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Belfast. Prices for flights from Stansted to Zurich start from £32.99 and £35.99 to Geneva.



Yes, as of March 2026, EasyJet has officially returned to London Stansted Airport (STN) with a newly expanded schedule. After significantly reducing its presence at Stansted in previous years to focus on its hubs at Luton and Gatwick, the airline launched several new routes from Stansted in early 2026 to meet the growing demand for low-cost European travel. One of the most notable new services is the direct flight from Stansted to Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG), which operates multiple times per week. Other popular destinations from Stansted in the 2026 summer schedule include various sun-destinations in Spain, Italy, and Greece. For travelers in the East of England and North London, this return provides a much-needed alternative to Ryanair’s dominance at the airport. You can book these flights through the EasyJet website or mobile app, with fares continuing to follow their "low-cost" model. This move is part of EasyJet’s broader strategy to diversify its London footprint and recapture market share in the competitive "budget short-haul" sector that characterizes the UK aviation market in the mid-2020s.
